It's like presented as a full show because I need, I need, I will take the easy way out if I don't,

take it away from myself.

So I should admire you for that.

But what happened was what happened was I booked the show and didn't really think to like like I didn't really think about like who that like anyone could buy tickets.

And I get there, and it's, like, someone I'm kind of hooking up with, someone I'm wanting to hook up with, like, some comedians I kind of respect, friends I haven't seen in years.

And I'm like, no, no, no, this was supposed to all be strangers.

Like, you're supposed to come to, like, the show when it's, like, good.

And then I got also something.

I have a story to tell you after about what had happened with one of these people.

Which is also kind of, like, why my brain was feeling crazy at the time.

I get on stage.

I start doing, the two openers were good.

Like they did a great job.

Audience is warm.

I get on stage.

I like get 15 minutes into the show.

And all of a sudden I just, it's like the audience was laughing.

Like I wasn't bombing, but I knew I had to do 45 more minutes.

And I just had this moment where like my whole brain went quiet.

And like, I just heard myself go, this doesn't make any fucking sense.
