In the past month, I’ve been asked to perform at a birthday party, a wedding reception, and a college graduation party.
Here’s the catch: I’m not a DJ, and I’m not in a band. I’m a comedian.
Given that tidbit of information, if you’re not thinking “Those are odd requests,” you should be.
I didn’t turn down any of the gigs, but neither did I perform at any of them. I quoted a price, and had some very nice conversations with the interested hosts. After that, the people realized what they were getting into, and decided against moving forward. Basically, because I am not smart, I talked myself out of a gig. Three times in a row.
Why? Because I’m not a fan of Ambush Comedy.
