Billy Eichner

Or like a Broadway show.

So I'm looking around and it's kind of towards the beginning, maybe getting to the middle of my bar mitzvah.

And I am freaking out because it doesn't look exactly the way I thought it would look in my mind.

And people aren't dancing enough.

They're not playing the right songs.

I had handed the DJs weeks in advance a handwritten list of

of like 300 songs.

And at the top of the list, I wrote in a pencil with underlined words, these songs must be played.

And that list included like some obscure show tunes that your typical bar mitzvah DJ would not have had on hand, right?

So they weren't playing the right songs and my vision wasn't being seen through.

And

And I ran over to my mother and I basically had a breakdown.

And I said, after all my months of planning, people aren't dancing.

They're not playing the right songs.

No one's having a good time.

And I just panic as this young gay kid whose artistic dreams seem to be falling apart in real time.

And my mother, who was always so warm and loving, kind of took an unusual for her

And she kneeled down in a very loving but pointed way.

And she looked at me and said, this party is amazing.

Everyone's having a great time.
