The sound of one hand clapping...


(philosophyblog.com.au)
Makes me wonder of what it must be like to become a stand-up comedian.  I can only imagine. Besides wanting hear laughter, you also like to hear a round of applause after you gave the punch line of the joke. Let me not forget to mention, not wanting to receive a boo from your audience. But being funny comes with the job description. People can be very cruel and will slaughter you up on that stage. And once the joke has been told, there’s complete, dead silence and then you hear that one hand clapping. Embarrassing!

  2. And that is why I will never become a stand-up comedian! I know a friend who does Improv in Cape Town, and he is funny as HELL!
