Quick Question…What Was Your Scariest Moment On Stage?
Posted by Mike Bobbitt
Once again I polled my comedy friends. This time I asked them about their scariest experiences on stage.
Mine was that I was on stage at Club Bart very early on and was getting
heckled by a black guy with crazy hair. Growing up in the suburbs I
didn’t realize the potential racial implications of saying, “Settle down
Buckweet!” He tried to rush the stage, but the other open mic comics
formed a barrier keeping him away from me. I was afraid to leave the
stage. Nowadays I realize that faking confidence goes a long way and
gives you a lot of leeway with what you can say to an audience.
