Yeah, yeah.

Well, yeah.

When I did the Chicago theater, that was probably one of the biggest venues I've ever done.

And I remember there was a moment where...

I walk out on stage and it's a long walk from the side stage to the center stage.

It's this loud ass cheer.

And I'm like, dude, I got to get to the mic and tell a joke before I start overanalyzing.

Like, holy shit, this is... Because for me, the second I tell a joke, I'm like locked in.

I always, to this day, and this was just something I learned from open mics and just myself, is like, I feel like I always have to get a joke out as quick as possible so the audience can be like, oh, we trust this guy.

Whether his next five jokes are shit, he got our trust right off the bat.

So I come out with something quick.

First impression, right?

The second you walk on stage, based on what you're wearing, how you look, they're judging everything.

So if your first joke is funny, they go, okay, we like this guy.

That's something I learned from just starting out doing open mics and doing random showcases inside of a Marie Callender's, which is a pie shop here in America.

So I would always try to find a joke as fast as possible.

And I still do that to this day.

Granted, a lot of these people follow me online and love me, but I'm still like, you guys invested your time, money in this.

You're getting funny out the gate.

I'm not here to lollygag.
