Wait, I saw it. You posted a video of someone in the crowd who told you they were a veterinarian, and then you said, “Ok, some of these may not be right …” and then it laughed.
Yes, definitely.
I usually start with shows by saying that I have a degree in chemistry, and then ask who else. If there is someone who has a degree in chemistry from a higher level or from a better university, I am cooked.
What is the worst crochet you’ve ever found?
I started a job last Sunday, and I did a joke about exothermic reactions.
This is the joke where you ask if the audience wants to hear about exothermic reactions and then say that you do not have the energy.
Yes, and in my head I swear that it is right. But I only hear a small voice that reads: “Actually, I think if you change it to activation energy, it will work much better.”
OK, fair, but yours also works, so …
I do one joke where I fit a line of the best. In Edinburgh, I recorded it as a straight linear line of the best fit, and then after the laughter died, someone climbed up and was like, “Actually, it is an exponential curve of the best fit.”
What is worse is that I have done the joke many times, and it was only before anyone said that everyone in the audience was like “Yes, they are right.” It’s like Oh no, I did this joke 20 times …
Do you think of your sets as educational? Or at least informative?
Maybe a little. But I would probably put that energy to other things. As I currently write a book on the periodic table, and it’s like a young adult children’s book. It is therefore between the ages of 10 and 15 years old. It is actually really educational where I divided the book into groups of the periodic table, and then each group is related to their characteristics and their characteristics as an element, and then I have pictured it in personalities that match the characteristics. So that is Educational. But this can result in hopefully producing more educational content like the book.
