The comedic high

I got a taste of it, I have  a new bit that as it builds it slowly sucks the air out of the room, the tension peaks (essentially the crowd thinks I’m about to reveal myself as a racist) and the audience is silently bemused until I drop the punchline, snapping the tension in a way that is just a helluva buzz. Like Indian Jones whipping a luger out of a Nazi’s hand.

I did my very first official opening spot at The Prescott and it went really well, looking forward to tonight where I’m going to try the above bit out.

I didn’t do it last night because it was a small crowd and the MC asked if there were any Knight Rider jokes so I couldn’t resist resurrecting a slightly older bit that referenced the classic show so it fit. I was also proud that I was able to change my set up on the fly like that.
