Have you ever attended a stand-up show and wanted to crawl under a rock?

Hazle Brattan

Hey there,

I definitely have attended a stand-up show and wanted to crawl under a rock. It was a few years ago when I went to see a comedian who I thought was hilarious on TV and online. However, in person, he was incredibly offensive and crude. His jokes were vulgar, and he made fun of marginalized communities, which made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I remember looking around the room and seeing other people laugh, but I couldn’t bring myself to enjoy any part of the show.

I didn’t want to leave because I was there with a group of friends who were enjoying themselves. As the show went on, I just felt more and more uncomfortable, and I wished I could disappear. I felt like the comedian was attacking me and people like me with his jokes, even though I knew he was just trying to be funny. When the show finally ended, I couldn’t wait to leave, and I never wanted to attend another stand-up show again.

Looking back, I realize that not all comedians are the same, and not all comedy shows are offensive. I know that some comedians make jokes that are intended to challenge the status quo and shine a light on important issues. However, I also know that some comedians cross the line into harmful territory and can make people feel unwelcome or unsafe. I’ve learned to be more mindful of the content I consume and to listen to my gut when something doesn’t feel right.

In conclusion, yes, I have attended a stand-up show and wanted to crawl under a rock. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, but it taught me a valuable lesson about the power of comedy and the importance of being mindful of the content we consume.
