If you bomb, especially when you start it, especially when you're starting out, if you bomb, you get off stage and no other comedian will make eye contact with you. You're dead to them as you should be, which means I didn't make any eye contact with any comedian for A Full Year And A Half, which is sad.
Ever wondered what it feels like to bomb on stage as a comedian? David Boyle lays it all bare in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. With his signature wit, Boyle recounts his early days in comedy, when he thought charisma alone could carry him through. Spoiler: it didn't. The harsh reality of silence from the audience and the sting of failure made him feel invisible among his peers. But Boyle doesn’t just stick to comedy.
He also dives into his thoughts on social classes, revealing his disdain for the upper-middle class and his complex views on the lower and middle classes. It's a raw, honest look at society through Boyle's eyes. As he muses about the true meaning of life and even imagines cash being a currency in heaven, you'll find yourself both entertained and reflective.
This episode is a rollercoaster of humor and deep thoughts, perfect for anyone navigating sobriety or just looking for a good laugh with a side of introspection.
