Of course, that’s the day that it actually happens. You can watch the behind the scenes (I had been 10 times and resigned myself to the fact I wasn’t gonna get pulled). I literally spent the next week every night waking up with a shiver remembering that this actually happened. I’ll break down more about what happened when I have a chance to watch it. Transparently – I think this might be the worst public speaking thing I’ve done in….ten years? Maybe, ever? I froze a little bit, and I knew my joke was already going to run long so I was playing catch up and never hit the punchline.Īs Tony said – I just chewed all the fat off the joke. Honestly, I’ve done rooms with a few thousand people before and for some reason (I’ll dig into my psyche later), I got super nervous running from the alley to the stage. I ended up with all setup and no joke :). I tried to cut it down to fit the time slot – but that was a bad decision. The problem is, you only get 1 minute on Kill Tony. My plan was to do one of the jokes I’ve had the longest – about therapy – but the problem is that over time – the joke is a mini-set (it can do 5 minutes). Hinchcliffe began his career cutting his teeth at the renowned Comedy Store in Los Angeles-evolving from a door guy saturated in the world of comedy to a paid regular sharing the stage with the best comics in the world. Kill Tony is a show where you come up and do a minute of your material, then you talk about it with whoever is on stage and Tony Hinchcliffe will usually make fun of you in some way. Tony Hinchcliffe is a touring stand up comedian, writer, and podcast host based out of Austin, Texas. This doesn’t mean I kill it – but I have bits that work and bits that I’m trying out. I don’t know if that’s too much, but at this point, I think I have some acceptable material and I know what works and what doesn’t so far. I’ve done a few featured sets but haven’t posted much content (I’ve seen comics say you shouldn’t post anything for the first 3 years). I’ve actually done a bunch of places from Austin to Lisbon to Portland and Chicago and more. I’ve been messing around with comedy on the impossible list for a while now. This was supposed to be “Joel does well at the Mothership” – Joe Rogan’s new club in Austin – but instead, you get to see me bomb – with about 300,000 viewers online. Well, you’re in luck – today we have a big serving of option #2. Sometimes, it involves me falling flat on my face (these aren’t as much fun). Usually this involves me doing something cool and having a great montage video to show you guys and looking cool (these are pretty fun to do). Anddddd we’re back with another installment of Joel knocking things off his impossible list.
