I recently opened for a “psychic medium”. The audience came there to connect with dead relatives, so I assumed they wouldn’t respond well to comedy. I was wrong; they were awesome! A few weeks later, I opened for a college-football fan famous for his U-Tube videos. The audience came to support their team, but they loved the comedy!
Both shows were last-minute opportunities. Normally, I turn down such invites because of the unknown. Had I done that, I would’ve missed out on valuable comedic-experiences! Growth comes from taking chances!
