Do you keep notes on which London rooms suit which material?
I’m starting to think “that bit works” is less useful than knowing where it works. Some material seems to want a close, attentive room; other stuff survives a noisier night because the premise is obvious immediately. Do you keep any kind of note on the room when you log a set — size, layout, how late you were on, audience energy — or does that become an excuse for the material? I want enough context to spot patterns without ending up with a spreadsheet explaining why every bad gig wasn’t my fault.
