I like when this happens

Me: Alright I’m gonna get outta here, you guys are cool, thanks bye.

Applause

My Mind: Hey well that wasn’t too bad.

Host gets on stage.

Host: Give it up one more time. This takes guts. It’ not easy.

My Mind: Wait what?

Host: It’s hard to get up here and have no one laugh at your jokes.

My Mind: Wait, didn’t people enjoy…I thought…

Host: And let me tell you, I’ve been doin’ this for awhile, and that was some good stuff for only having done it a couple times.

My Mind: A year and a half…

Host: Man, a year and a half from now, this young comic’s gonna take the stage and blow you guys away. It takes time. Give it up one more time for Jaimie!

My (sad and delusional) Mind: That’s not my name. Or gender.

Just thought I’d share. I love surprise humility. That’s as bad as the:
“Well I thought you were funny,”

or

“You had this one joke that was good, I don’t remember which,”

or

“Dude that was great. Like really, you’ve got potential. I think though, can I just, like, I’m not telling you how to do it, I’m just sayin, you might wanna, like, when you’re doin your punch lines, have it be delivered uh, um…”
“Better?”
“Yeah that’s it! And the way it’s written, like your way is cool, but you might wanna, make it uh, I dunno uh…”
“Funnier?”
“Yeah that’s it!”
