DIE ACTOR DIE

Some comedians I know love to talk about bombing on stage. Maybe it’s the whole “facing your fear thing”, maybe it’s the whole “conquering your fear thing”, or maybe it’s the whole “sadistic glutton for punishment thing.” Philly comedian Danny Ozark says he loves to bomb. It’s kind of a social experiment. He knows his material is good and that it works 98% of the times, but that 2% just makes him all giddy.

I get very sarcastic when I bomb. I start to blame the audience. Not the best strategy folks! I am like a cornered raccoon. I’ll even crap myself in the hope the smell will scare them away. Luckily it doesn’t happen very often. Ha, ha, HA.

Anywho, in the most recent edition of Esquire, Louis CK talks about what it is like to bomb on stage. I find it fascinating when established, seasoned, professional comedians bomb. It just goes to show, even the pros have bad nights.
