You’ll never know how to become a master at anything in life without experiencing your fair share of failure first.
Many experts in the industry will tell you that a comedian is not truly a comic until they “Bomb” on stage.
To bomb as a comedian means that your jokes don’t go over with the crowd and get no laughs. Typically, when a comic says he or she “bomb,” they are referring to an entire set. However, it is possible that just a single comedic bit falls flat. Sometimes, individual jokes here or their bomb — and that’s okay!
Every comedian from Dave Chappelle to a man or woman attempting stand-up comedy for the first time will have numerous occasions where their set just didn’t hit the mark with their audience that evening, some nights will become horrible moments that you will never forget.
