The first person I ever saw do stand-up live was a 40 (something) year old man, back in the year 2000. He was taking part in a talent competition. He wore a baggy shirt with huge collar. He also wore huge shoes (wasn't club footed) and tight jeans.
Anyway, this man absolutely died on his arse. None of his material got a laugh. One person started to laugh out of utter embarrassment. Once off stage the man left the building immediately and didn't wait for his results. He finished bottom, out of ten acts. He was poor.
That man was.......I literally have no idea.
