But also, it's like, I didn't know how much time I was doing.

So like, you know, you're like, I got my 10 minute.

I got my 12.

I got my 15.

I got my 30, whatever it was.

I was just going to go until they gave me the light until until whoever it was that was late showed up.

So now it was I'm trying to plan in real time.

OK, what am I going to talk about?

Because I actually don't know how long I'm going to be on stage.

So in that situation, it's like I'm just going to talk until I get a light.

And so at first you're like and then you're like, but it's like it's.

you're always prepared because you always know there's something you can say, but it's just like the beginning of it where you're like, okay, yes.

And so sometimes the audience sees that, but most of the time you don't want them to because if the audience is not confident that you are confident, you're going to lose them.

And it's gonna be very hard to get them back.

And so I had the advantage from doing theater and I was in a play for, it was a play that I was doing for like a year and some change.

sometimes their house was full sometimes the house was very small and so I'd already had the experience of performing in front of ten people or nine hundred people and

I knew how a crowd felt.

That was the other advantage that I have when I started standup over other comics was that I knew how an audience felt.

I knew how to move them the way I wanted to move them and get them to react to the way that I wanted to react.

Because sometimes it's with a joke.
