I'm like, why am I doing so badly?
Everyone looks like Chelsea Handler.
And I'm like, okay, I get what's going on here.
But I'm happy to struggle there, because then when I go out and do it on the road for my audience, I kill even harder.
It's like going to the gym versus playing the game.
It's like getting I did my Netflix is a joke show Tuesday and like a theater of 2,000 people and after doing clubs for like a few months It was great just to feel how different it was Then I'm like I'm glad I was doing these these like smaller shows to get to that but I only have the one act
If I'm gonna bomb like let's bomb, but I don't have any saves I don't have any kind of like let me tone it down a little bit.
Yeah for this audience But do you get mad you go?
Hey, this is good stuff.
Yeah, you're psychos at the improv like even though it's good.
I learned to be a professional I learned from what like being at the improv on a bad night and I see Sarah Silverman go up who I think the world of hmm, and she's just acting like it's going great and
And I'm like, oh, that's what, that's what a professional does is like, people are still there to see Sarah Silverman and they might be a bad crowd, but I'm like, if they're seeing Anthony Justin, like, like I want to give them that experience and not be like, you guys are terrible.
But like, this is a bad crowd that I just like act like I'm still the best, you know, like you aren't giving me the reaction that I would, I would want.
Maybe it's a half filled room, but I'm going to give you the act to the best of my ability.
I'll say things, but it's like in a positive way.
I'd be like, you guys are an amazing crowd to try new jokes in front of, right?
Like this is my target demographic.
Sure, like sarcasm.
Yeah, that they understand, but I don't let them see me sweat or think anything is wrong.
Because again, there are people there who might never see me again.
