There's something so horrifying when someone bombs that bad that it made the old granny in the front row say to me, mid-set, you're drowning.
Ever wondered how a comedian handles a total on-stage meltdown, especially while staying sober? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle recounts the nightmarish experience of his worst gig ever, which took place in India. With his trademark blend of wit and raw honesty, Boyle paints a vivid picture of cultural clashes, awkward silences, and the unexpected wisdom that comes from bombing on stage.
This episode isn't just about a bad performance; it's a candid look at the resilience required in both comedy and recovery. Boyle's story reminds us that even in our lowest moments, there's room for growth and laughter. He humorously describes the horror of having an elderly audience member tell him mid-set, 'You're drowning'. If you're up for a mix of cringe-worthy comedy tales and heartfelt reflections on sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
