What's the weirdest or worst experience I've had doing stand up?

Oh, I have I have one.

This was bad.

This was bad.

I once before I wrote the show, before I had the hour that I'm doing now, I had a different idea for a different hour.

Right.

And and it was about like a totally different topic.

And it was like a totally different like it was kind of because with both of them, it was kind of like I had these like sort of like collection of jokes where I was like, oh, wait, I think I could expand this into this bigger thing.

And then and so I had it with a different kind of set of material.

I was like, oh, I'm gonna make it this big thing.

and i did i like announced so i i was working on it and with both shows what i did i need like a deadline yeah so i set a deadline where it's like i book a show that it's like well you have to like i booked a show out of theater so you have no choice so it's like well people are buying tickets to this thing so you have to have it done and written by then yeah otherwise like what the fuck yeah

So the first time I did that was with this other show and I was working on it and I had the pieces.

And I think because it was my first time putting together a full hour, I thought kind of similar to what we were talking about earlier.

I like with the kind of like there's certain stuff I have to figure out on stage.

Yes.

I overestimated how much needed to be figured out on stage.

and did not put enough of the pieces together or really look at it as a whole.

And so I was like, and I announced it, I, I announced it as a work in progress show, which I'll also never do again because it's sort of being like, Hey, come see this thing that might suck shit.

And it's like, just present it as good.

Well, it gave me a backdoor that I then did fall through.
