I've done a fair bit of theatre in my time but stand up is a completely different ball game. An audience is naturally a bit easier on a story teller because they have to suspend reality to engage with the story in the first place. Also as a performer you have a role to hide behind whereas in stand up its just you and a mic................. go on then mr funny man, make me laugh. Kudos to you Jim, takes stones to give it a blast. Where did this happen?
