Response to:Are you a comedian?

[TheBoss]

I get this a lot. Probably a delivery problem from telling the same stories a million times.

Optimal response:

Ignore?
Say yes?
Say no?
What is it about comedians that turns you on so much?

"No, I only use humor in a transparent attempt to cover up deep seated insecurities stemming from years of abuse....wait...too much info?"

"Actually no, I write obituaries for a living"

"I like to call it natural charm....actually"

"If I don't use humor, people become insanely attracted to me, so this is just my way of saying, "Hey, I just want to be the 'funny friend'"

etc...etc...

These are money!

I used to get this when i started out. It would just role play it like this especially since it was a group on the street:

HB: "Are you a comedian/actor?" or "Is this some sort of experiment?"

Me: "Yeah. If you look up there (point upwards), there's a camera and we're on tv."

Then keep role playing or cut the thread and stack forward. Also tone it down since u came off too strong in the environment ur in.
