Deep dives
Bombing in Jamaica
One of the worst bombing experiences happened in Jamaica during a comedy show. The comedian, who had been doing comedy for eight years, performed at a non-comedy club venue and the crowd did not respond well. The material did not land, and a joke about sex was met with boos and even a gunshot. The comedian received backlash in Jamaica, with phone calls to family members and articles being written about the performance. This experience made the comedian hesitant to do corporate gigs in the future.
