The speakers discuss their experience of going to a stand-up comedy gig, including the struggle to find parking and peculiarities of newsreaders' speech. They also share their own experience of performing on stage and the pressure to say the right things.
Listen to one of Luke's stand-up gigs. First I talk about stand-up comedy and tell you some common expressions to describe comedy performances (see below). Then listen to me describing how I feel before a comedy gig, then listen to a recording of a recent gig. Finally I describe how I feel after the gig. There is some explicit content in this episode. Please don't listen if you are offended easily. CLICK HERE TO SEE VOCABULARY FROM THIS EPISODE, AND TO WATCH SOME STAND-UP VIDEOS
