Performing Flatulist |
You walk up to Brian and say 'I work as a comedian and I was wondering if you were interested in performing with me?'
Brian says 'What would I do?'
You say 'Well, how about as a performing flatulist? You would go on stage and fart all the time. You'd get a lot of laughs'
Brian thinks for a minute and says 'Ok, as long as I have creative control'. Brian's idea is to come on stage and tell people about his condition and shame them laughing about such a terrible disease though he doesn't tell you that.
'Sure' you say.
Anyway time passes and you're on stage with Brian the performing flatulist. You do your comedic act which involves boring observations about airline peanuts and viagra. Brian comes on stage and starts farting away much to the amusement of those in the crowd. Brian is about to go into a monologue about his chronic flatulence problem but he see's the adulation of the crowd. So rather than dissappointing he keeps going.
The crowd loves Brian and over time more and more comedy clubs are asking for Brian instead of you. You move into the sidelines while Brian starts getting television appearances and the like. What do you do:
Try cut down Brian and make him realise he'd be nothing without you
Congratulate Brian hoping he will keep you in his act.
