I've actually taken up smoking again for tonight only. Like a true soulsearching rebel.
I Choked, Bombed and Died... in that order. Page 2
Quote: Jack Daniels @ August 8 2011, 12:39 AM BSTYeah that's right on both points. Nothing could ever be worse than that. Nothing. Seriously Nat, I bombed hard, I cannot express that enough. Talk about hurtling back down to reality.
Of course I'm right, you don't need to tell me (f**k modesty).
I haven't had my "EARTH, OPEN UP AND SWALLOW ME NOW" moment yet, and I'm not entirely anxious to have it immediately. I've had some f**king stinkers of gigs, but even then they have lead to something positive. I realised after a couple of not so great gigs that I just wasn't comfortable with my material, which forced me to look at why, and move myself further towards the style I'm aiming for (I'm still working on that...).
Every comedy death has a reason. It's just a case of figuring it out.
[Sincere]JD, don't worry about the audience, they wouldn't have minded at all, they are human too and understand it could happen to anyone.
When I am in the audiance and something goes wrong I often think about what the performer is thinking about what I'm thinking about them, I know they are worried that I think badly of them but really of behalf of everyone I want to stand up and tell them it is ok.
So on behalf of your audience, I would like to tell you it's ok we don't mind, we will come see you again. [/Sincere]
*"[][]" are there because I tend to sound like I'm being a sarcastic dick when I'm being sincere
I would like to hijack this thread to announce my retirement as a stand up. It will be a loss to comedy, but I've scratched that itch now. Go on without me Jack.

I've seen your vid and you have poise, believe me...

Hmmm. Buy a pipe if you want to be cool.

I tend to judge. That's why I deserve the sleepless night ahead of me.
It what the Hindus call Karma.
I've seen this sort of thing happens tons of time, JD, you'll get over it. Getting it off your chest like this is probably the best thing you could do, share the experience and you'll feel a lot better for it...
You know you've got the talent and the ability, you've won before, might have been something to do with the extended time slot, some kind of inner fear you weren't aware of, that's something you can work on though...
If I was to go on stage I'd watch DeNiro's King of Comedy, if the audience didn't laugh I'd kidnap them until they did...
Keep at it...
