How well does a gig go if someone cries?

take a look at my first real go at stand up. i only had 5 min to think of it all as two people dropped out singing. please give me feedback.

This isn't funny as such, however the fact that you had the bottle to get up there and do it the first place is a credit to you. Perhaps you should sit down and write some material, then do it for real. Don't see any reason why you couldn't make a go of it.

Oh man, I feel your pain, that gig went terrible.

The woman running out crying you should have milked that dude, you could have had the crowd roaring with a joke off the top of your head like "I was only joking I wouldn't shoot it! I'd have sold it to the chinese round the corner" (That's off the top of my head :()

Still don't let that put you off she was clearly f**king mental.

I've seen worse in some 'proper' comedy clubs mate. Who was it that ran out?

Some little girl ran to her mum. i spoke to her mum after. she enjoyed it. it wasnt the event really for "comedy". But it was fun.

Have you seen that guy who won Comedy Idol a few years back? He did something very similar to what you seemed to be doing at the start.

Well done!

At least it wasn't you running off crying.

You stuck it out and didn't look too uncomfortable either. I've certainly seen worse.

Now, as someone else has suggested, write some material and get a good 5 minute together and get out there.

You are to stand up what David Brent is to man management. I dont mean that as an insult in anyway, more as a compliment. Intentional or not (i appreciate it was the latter)this was cringingly funny and the fact that you not only continued regardless but also kept a straight face was absolute genius.

You have a career ahead of you I believe, get writing.

Like everyone else says, you've done the hard bit, now write the material.
