So I had the brilliant idea of sitting in front at a comedy show... I guess in hindsight it shows I don't worry about stuttering much anymore because I didn't even think about the possibility of this happening to me, but I'm not sure where my mind was lol So the show is going on, all is well. New guy takes the stage and he is doing crowd interaction. I am still oblivious that he could ask me something. And then it happened. "Sir what do you do for a living" I fumbled out the word "I". And he says that I am taking too long and moves on to someone else. But then he comes back, "Let's try this again ... Sir how old are you". So now I am trying to push something out and it's obvious he had no idea what going on. He said some joke I forgot what it was. So then I decided I just need to advertise here so I said I stutter. And his response was something along the lines of "youre not fucking with me are you?" Then he actually said I'll give you time to respond. Which I thought was good of him. He obviously had no idea I stuttered and he handled it the best he could. Obviously he is still a comedian and crowd work was his shtick, so there were a couple mild jokes at my expense. In another environment I would have been offended, but I have to realize where I am, right? I survived and didn't feel too down after. I felt a little worse the next day, but the thoughts were fleeting. In years past it would have sent me to a darker place. I actually did laugh at the jokes, they were kinda funny. I realized he wasnt being malicious and still has a job to do and I think he kinda felt awkward as well. It's nice to reflect and see how my attitude has changed about my stutter. Next time I will request a seat in the back tho....
