Surviving Stand Up March 17, 2006
Posted by atharkhan in : Personal , trackbackSo, I survived my Stand Up “Graduation Showcase.” I think I actually heard some applause too. The weird thing is that when I was up there, I couldn’t really hear people laugh or applaud. It was just a general sense of when to pause for it and when to continue with the shtick. It’s a very strange feeling to not be able to see people and to be so caught up in doing the set that stuff just fades away … suddenly youre up there on the stage… alone and you own it. Weird huh?
I was #13 of the 17 people doing stand up that night. A few forgot their lines and others were exceptionally good. I was so nervous that I had to physically leave the Improv club so I wouldn’t be psyched out by the other comics’ performances. I think also had to go to the bathroom at least 10 times … I was drinking way too much water because my throat would keep drying out.
