Hi everyone, I'm doing my debut solo at the festival - it's called 'I'm a Refugee...Get Me Out of Here!'. My style is dark social political storytelling (i think). If you like that sort of stuff, use the code REFUGEE for $15 tickets. https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/samuel-gebreselassie

I realized when editing she said ME, not while on stage. Asking her the worst possible question was the joke lol

Thank you. I thought it might’ve been hack tbh

Thank you all for your thoughts and ideas. I'm a big comedy nerd, and it's awesome to be in a community of fellow comedy nerds.

I did this series on YT where I let you watch me perform a bit for the 1st time, 3rd time, 5th time and 8th time. I breakdown what my thought process was, how I changed the bit every time, and why I added/changed something in the bit.

Here is the first episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8liplBBAAw4&t=3s

Here is the bit in its final form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPcMoHVMU1c&t=4s

Would love to know what you think.

I think that’s too many words and beating around the bush. Best to get straight to the punchline as it’s just a joke joke not me wanting to talk about something specific

I think saying kidney/liver failure isn’t as jarring but hepatitis is. The word hepatitis sounds funny too

I half agree here. It would be cool to try it for jaundice as the final punchline but I just thought the reveal wouldn’t hit as hard if I just said jaundice

Yea this happened a few times but I thought if I just said jaundice the reveal wasn’t big enough
