Oh…I’m THAT Comic

Sometimes when you’re doing comedy, and everything is going right it feels like pure magic! The other night was not one of those times. It was one of those nights where the crowd was really thin, no one was really getting laughs, and the show seemed to be dragging on.
Then this one guy got up and started complaining about the room and and about the situation. Look buddy, we know it sucks. We don’t need you to remind us and make us feel like it’s our fault. Just do your jokes and get off stage so this train wreck can be over. Unfortunately the douchebag on stage couldn’t hear me say any of this…because it was me.
I don’t know why I became the thing I hate but it wasn’t even very fulfilling. It didn’t feel good while I was doing it and I didn’t feel good during or after. I felt like I was being an ass and then I felt bad for being an ass.
So I guess my message is: don’t become the thing you hate…it’s not worth it.

How do you avoid becoming the thing you hate, when you hate everything? If you find yourself in that situation (which I always do), I have a simple suggestion. Put the things you hate on a scale.On the one end of the spectrum, you’d laugh if a person with that trait died. On the other end… you’ll perform their vasectomy with a rusty spoon, break their nose, smash a sledgehammer into their spine, and then push them into a vat of acid. (note: nobody has yet reached the far end of this scale. I’d say that’s a good thing, right?)
