访谈录 2012-03-13&03-15 艾德•赫尔姆斯遭遇噩梦

 The stand-up in particular, I think, is you go through some wealth packages, for sure, I had a few, I mean when I was over here, it’s actually there were great days, cause I was young and hungry and I just wanted to kind of like get out there, but I would take any gig.

 

Right, you have to

 

Yeah, you have to, I took gigs in like the outer barrels wherever, I remember there was one in, I think it was either Percapsy or the Pokenose or somewhere, it was cold to pee. 

 

Right

 

And you know you get hackled for these things, and I got hackled by someone who was a lot smarter than me, and a lot funnier, this was a guy, he was like a medical doctor, and he was just deconstructing my act. And just kind of dressing¹ me down which is brutal², 

 

Vow³, Yeah, 

 

But that was not the most brutal part, the most brutal part was that the headliner who went on after me, spent his entire act making fun of my set, 

 

So that’s not right, 

 

I thought I was, I got up on stage as I cramp⁴ down, I can watch this guy, I can learn from him, I can see where he’s going, and he just starts to pick up a part everything I had said, it’s not cool

 

That’s not good, It’s a violation⁵ of the brotherhood⁶. 

 

Thank you.

 

Whatever happened to that guy, did anything come to his way?

 

No, not heard of him…

 

Good, let that be a lesson.
