Garry is sitting in a backstage
repeating his jokes. He waited this moment for a long time and finally, the time has come. Garry is a little nervous, but he feels confident and calm, he has enough time to get ready for the performance.
Suddenly, the producer comes to the backstage. “Garry it is your turn now, go out faster” - said producer. What? Now? But I don’t ready yet! His palms start sweating, he heads swirls sharply, and he no longer feels the ground under his feet. Garry slowly moving towards the stage and with every step his heart beats faster and faster. He goes on stage and sees a microphone stand in the middle of the scene. Garry looks at the hall, but all he can see is just the bright of spotlights. He walks toward the microphone and tries to change the height of the stand but only makes an annoying squeaky sound. Finally, he manages to fix the microphone and starts his performance.
- Hi, everyone, emm glad that you all came here. So let’s start with a little joke, do you know what do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite. Very funny joke, isn't is?
But no one in the room laughed a little. Full silence hung over the hall. From this, Garry became very embarrassed, thoughts began to sneak in his head that the scene was not his calling and it was all a futile undertaking.
-Not a funny one? Actually, before coming here tonight I was discussing my talk with my wife, and she said to me: “Don’t try to be too charming, too witty or too intellectual, just be yourself.”
And then the hall just burst with laughter. Everyone liked this spontaneous joke so much that Garry immediately felt relieved and confident. Rest of the performance was fine and smooth. Garry earned a lot of experience from his first spectators. He knows that this is only the beginning of his great career.
