The Adnostic

Dear Short Asian Comic,

I am sure that you are a very funny guy. There is no way that you can perform at the Largo and be in the same line-up as Louis CK, Sarah Silverman, and Patton Oswalt and not, at least at some point in time be considered funny. Unfortunately, last night you were marginally funny. Sure, you got some laughs, but for that room on that night, you clearly bombed and the whole room knew it.

Now, when you are having an off night, I would heed this advice - this is not the time to start hitting on the girl in the front row while you are on stage in the middle of your set. It is awkward. When you ask (in front of the whole room) if she is here with anyone and she desperately reaches for her friend sitting on the other side of the table and audibly pleads for help, change the subject. Change the subject immediately. This is a clear signal that your very public attention is not welcome.

You didn't bring your A Game that night. I understand. It's okay. Just please don't make it my problem and drag me into your personal 10 minutes of Hell.

I'm Just Saying,

An Innocent Victim
