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.
During a recent appearance on The I Saw This On The Internet Podcast inside KevOnStage Studios, comedian Tony Baker shared with viewers his worst experience “Bombing” while on stage.
In addition to being seen performing at the hottest comedy clubs around the country and organically making millions of people laugh worldwide with his legendary viral voiceover videos on social media, Tony Baker’s comedic skills have landed him on the big screen and television: finalist on NBC’s The Last Comic Standing (Season 8 & 9 ), NBC’s The Carmichael Show (Season 2), HBO’s All DEF Comedy (Season 1), Trutv’s Standup/storytelling showcase, Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks, the Academy Award-nominated movie Whiplash and his 2018 debut Comedy special Scaredy Cat (iTunes/Google Play).
