The kid was up to give it a second try.

 

He was booed off the stage the first time he tried. But, he was nervous and he just knew he could do better.

 

So, he came up with an all new set that was SURE to knock ’em dead.

 

It was the saddest thing I’ve seen in years of ‘standup comedy’.

 

After he ran off the stage and outside, I ran out and tried to console him.

 

He said his life was over and he was going home to OD, stab, shoot, and hang himself.

 

So, when I asked if I could call him a cab and he said yes, I said, “You’re a cab!”.

 

He just looked at me. Then, he ran screaming down the street, was hit by a car, and will be laid up until his broken legs heal.

 

Maybe next time kid. Maybe next time.
