You have some clever writing. All though there is only so many puns I can sit through before I get bored.
Overall you are headed the right direction. I'd say go less one liners and more observational. I think one line comics are only good if they have a huge bizarre personality.
Props though, I've wanted to try stand up but haven't had the courage yet.
Is this done in Calgary?

What's the deal with Ovaltine? Why don't they call it Roundtine?

Pretty funny. I would suggest making more eye contact with the crowd, you seem to always be looking down or to the side, and that makes you look nervous. You're on the right track and can be the next Russel Peters if you know a lot of racist jokes.

I liked the 3rd set. Cake cover band and Con flicks jokes are my favs.

Nice work.

That was really good. I'm pretty sure if I was at the club I would be laughing my ass off.

That's good for you. I always respect people who can pull off comedy because I can't even do it propely around friends.

I also liked cake secretary. I'll laugh at anything Cake Boss related because of Paul F Tompkins.

I wasn't digging the overall flow of your material, but you have some damn funny lines. Props

Not too shabby. The battered women jokes bombed.

I liked the greek salad dressing and the KKKFC lines.

You're obviously a funny guy, good writing. I think your awkward stage presence works. It does really a little too much on puns.

some funny lines. IMO your routine would be alot funnier if you projected some confidence.
In my head I was laughing at some of the jokes, but most of it was lost by waiting for you to get there. That said it is most definately alot harder then it looks and that definately takes some balls to get up there and do

The nervous/non-eye contact thing is pretty established, I don't see a problem with it. There is sort of a lack of flow coming from the material being a series of observational puns, but I still laughed at a lot of it.

Not bad. not bad at all. The first segment was akward but I liked it. If you start your show as the unsure guy reading jokes off a page and then bust into the meat of it I think that would be a good gimmick.

Good sets.

Although, random high pitched laughers should be shot.
