Summary

Every time I have a show an audience member will always talk to me after and tell me how they're too afraid to try stand up and my advice is always the same. Try an open mic! They are intimidating at first but literal crazy and homeless people do open mics. That is why I am doing this week's podcast. I wanted to tell you about the best and worst nights of my stand up career to show that it's never as bad as you think it's going to be. I end the episode with the story of my favorite laugh of all time.
