I wouldn’t call it stage fright exactly - more like performance anxiety, I have Aspergers - but I have gotten better at handling it with talking to people and groups of people by spicing in a bit of humor and self-deprecation into conversations. Knowing how to laugh and make fun of yourself helps immensely in many situations where appropriate. And if you can get yourself into these situations, you get used to doing them and you feel less anxious over time. You force yourself into situations like this and suddenly it feels more natural, second nature. The hardest part often times is just beginning.
Just make sure to insert the humor when it’s appropriate, and not like when a death or other situations where doing so might make it look like you’re making light of it. If it’s you who’s the subject of the situation, maybe, as long as you take it seriously.
Very true. But it’s inspiration for everyone else who has really bad stage fright. If someone like Mitch could become a famous standup comic even with bad stage fright, there’s hope for others.
There’s a reason he wore the sunglasses, even indoors.
I haven’t seen that special, but I saw on a YouTube video that it was edited to take out some parts where the audience just wasn’t feeling him. Apparently he even sat down at the back part of the stage at one point. Eventually the audience warmed up to him and the performance improved. But damn, that had to hurt.
It’s an older one. It was also on the uncut version of his Comedy Central Presents special. I think.
Edited because: Not sure. Been forever
I hadn’t heard the KitKat one, but I did hear the one where he said “a KitKat bar has the words KitKat imprinted into the bar. That robs you of chocolate! I want to take a KitKat bar to the factory and say ‘you owe me some letters!’ “
I like KitKats unless I’m with four or more people.
My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
I like rice. It’s good when you’re hungery and you want two thousand of something.
If I ever got lost in the woods, fuck it. Build a house. I used to be lost, but now I live here. I have severely improved my predicamate.
I remixed a remix, it’s back to normal.
You can’t please some of the people all of the time, and last night all those people were at my show.
Is that enough? I could go on.
“These were Texas Grilled flavored Fritos; you know, Fritos with grill marks on ‘em. Kinda reminds me of somethin’… bein’ a little kid out in the backyard, my Dad firin’ up the charcoal grill… then throwin’ on some Fritos! Yeah, flip that Frito, Dad. You know how I like it.”
“Don’t run away…let me hold one of you…and feed you a leaf”
It was the cutest infestation ever.
No wonder he overdosed. Hope that Maud will be more careful with rocks.
So you’re telling me his apartment wasn’t really infested with koala bears?
The artist is quoting a joke told by the late, great stand up comedian Mitch Hedberg: “I used to do a lot of drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.”
It’s just a joke.
Exactly. She still does. “Used to” implies that it was in the past and NOT IN THE PRESENT.
She did study rocks in the past.
She still does, but she studied rocks in the past, too.

It’s amazing how he was able to be so endearing and likable by poking fun at his own jokes. It was disarming without being awkward, in a way that very few comics could get away with.
He’s one of my stand-up inspirations. He just took the partying way too far.
Thank you, I wasn’t sure
