I just can't see this being helpful...

Laugh Tracker is comedy software designed to help stand-up comedians objectively evaluate their performances.
Stand-up comedy, more than any other form of entertainment, involves audience interaction. Ideally, the comedian delivers the setup and the audience listens. The comedian delivers the punch and the audience laughs. It’s this give and take that Laugh Tracker software measures.
Laugh Tracker isn’t some magic-carpet-ride to stardom. It’s a tool for amateur and professional comedians to critically assess their material. Break up your act joke by joke. Easily see which jokes get the biggest laughs, which take the most time to set up, and which bits get the most laughs. This is serious software for serious comedians.

Didn't Dat P. do this on last comic standing? But yeah, I don't really think this would be helpful at all.

Here are the Laugh Scores for some random bits and sets from widely regarded comedians. Think you got what it takes to be a professional comedian? See how you stack up against the pros.

What is a Laugh Score? A Laugh Score is the amount of laughter during a given performance. For instance, if your Laugh Score is 33%, then a third of your performance is occupied by audience laughter. And, that’s wicked good.

Jim Gaffigan “Hot Pockets” 41%
Bill Hicks “Sex On Trial” 39%
Jim Gaffigan “Waffle House” 36%
Jake Johannsen’s 1st Tonight Show Appearance 31%
Woody Allen “Shot A Moose” 30%
Paul F. Thompkins “Goth Girl” 27%

Ah number 1 they spelled TOMPKINS wrong. And ah number two 27%?!?

I'd try this just for laughs if it were available for Windows.

That's the only cool thing about it. Finally something exclusively for Mac users!

Gene, let's run a statistical analysis of this statistical analysis. Or maybe I'll just eat a Hot Pocket instead.
