Alright, alright, settle down you magnificent collection of human beings! You look good tonight. Not just good, but… like you've all collectively decided to nail the 'I'm here to laugh and avoid talking about my Monday' look. And I respect that.
Seriously though, it's great to be back on stage. I'm living the dream. The dream where I stand under a hot light, tell jokes, and then pray to whatever cosmic entity oversees snack food that someone buys me a churro afterwards. It's a very specific dream.
You know, I've been thinking a lot about the little things lately. Like how we, as a society, have completely lost the art of the proper grocery store queue. Remember when it was an orderly, efficient process? Now it's like a Thunderdome of trolley carts and self-scanning existential dread.
I was at the supermarket the other day, and this woman in front of me had a full-blown argument with the self-checkout machine. Not a quiet, muttering argument, but a shouting match. "I scanned you! You know I scanned you! This is manipulation, Fresh Goods 4000! You're just trying to make me feel inadequate!"
And I'm just standing there, awkwardly holding my single bag of crisps, wondering if I should intervene, like, "Ma'am, perhaps it's time to accept the machine's judgment. It saw what you did with that avocado."
And don't even get me started on the phenomenon of unsolicited life advice. Everywhere I go, someone's got a hot take on how I should live my life. I was at the gym yesterday – yes, I go to the gym, briefly, for moral support – and this guy comes up to me in the middle of a set. He's like, "You know, you're not really getting the full benefit from that curl. You need to keep your elbows tucked in more, and really focus on the eccentric movement."
And I'm just thinking, "Sir, I'm pretty sure the full benefit for me is just not face-planting on the floor. My eccentric movement is my natural state, just trying to lift this ridiculously heavy five-pound weight." Honestly, the only advice I want at the gym is, "Are you done with that water fountain?"
And then there's the internet. Oh, the internet. It's a magical place, isn't it? Where you can learn anything, connect with anyone, and also find out that someone on TikTok believes their cat is receiving messages from outer space via interpretive dance. And then you spend twenty minutes watching it. Don't judge. It was compelling.
But my favorite internet phenomenon is the comments section. It's where optimism goes to die. You could post a video of a puppy saving a baby deer from a burning building, and someone would comment, "Probably staged. And that puppy's form is terrible. Also, why wasn't there a fire extinguisher?"
It's like people have forgotten how to just… enjoy things. My goal in life now is just to find joy in small, uncomplicated moments. Like when the Wi-Fi actually connects on the first try. Or when I remember where I put my keys before I have to leave the house. These are my victories.
So thank you tonight for being here, for sharing these small joys and absurdities with me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I hear the distant siren song of a churro cart, and my dream is calling. You've been a wonderful audience! Thank you!
(Lights up on a stage. Comedian walks to center, adjusts mic, smiles warmly.)
"Alright, alright, settle down you crazy people! Thanks for having me. (Pause fo r applause/laughter)
You know, I was scrolling through Instagram earlier, and it's just a constant ba rrage of people 'living thei r best life,' isn't it? Someone's always 'grateful' for their 'morning yoga with a sunrise view' while simultaneously 'crushing their kale smoothie.' And you're just sitting there, in sweatpants, wondering if that kale smoothie would pair w ell with a donut. Because my best life looks suspiciously like their worst han gover.
And don't even get me started on autocorrect. It's like my phone has a personal
vendetta against my dignity.
I was trying to text my mom I was 'coming home' and it changed to 'I'm culmina
ting home.' Like I'm some sort of obscure vegetable reaching its peak season. "
Look Mom, I'm fully ripe! Eat me!"
(Pause for laughter)
Or trying to apologize for being late to a friend: 'Sorry, running a few minutes behind.' Autocorrect: 'Sorr y, running a few minutes behind schedule, you pathetic loser! (Mimes looking a t phone with horror) My phone is a cyberbully! I swear, one day it's gonna corre ct 'I love you' to 'I love gravy' and my relationship is just over.
(Pause)
And speaking of technology that actively hates us – who designed the self-checko ut machines? Every time I us e one, it's like a passive-aggressive game of 'guess the weight.' I bought one a pple. ONE. And it screams, in that robotic voice, 'UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AR EA!' Sir, madam, it's an apple. My only item! Did you expect a pet hamster? A small, highly trained squirrel?
Then you have to wait for the teenager with the thousand-yard stare to come over and clear the ghost item. T hey always look like you just woke them up from a nap in a parallel dimension wh ere self-checkout never existed. And they just slowly press the button, no eye c ontact, like they're performing ancient magic. "Behold, the Bagging Area is clea r... for now, mortal."
(Pause, slightly exasperated face)
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? We're all supposed to be these highly functioni
ng adults, navigating the di
gital age, being productive members of society... but honestly, most days I feel
like I'm just an overgrown toddler trying to assemble IKEA furniture using only
a fork and the power of positive thinking.
And then I still go back to Instagram and share a picture of my perfectly assemb
led – but wobbly – IKEA tabl
e, captioning it: 'So blessed. So grateful.'
(Smile, gesture to audience)
You've been a great crowd! Thank you so much! I'm [Your Name], good night!"
