Life Questions
If I'm on stage doing my act
About all my issues with people
Everyone is laughing and connecting
And I'm seen as a comedic genius
But, if I'm confiding in you
as a friend, about all my human issues
Secretly, but not to my face
You think I'm a fucking Loser
Why the double standard ?
Is it because you paid to see the comedian ?

dearest Poet be yourself in all of your many facets

I have found just that- if people pay for comedy, many (not me) will laugh to get their money's worth. Anyone who thinks someone is a loser for having issues with others probably has more issues than you- and is likely less funny.
Cool poem, interesting question.

Ahh...the human species. Schadenfreude at its very best.

Comedy is in a weird place right now.
Everyone is so scared of being cancelled.
I've been to a few and they were always fun - everyone was
relaxed having drinks and enjoyed the show.
Now everyone is so high strung.
On a personal note - always be yourself.
The one's who truly care will stick around and
help you improve your comedy:)

Hey Hot Sauce
Good to see you in my audience
Yes, the world is off kilter, rude and having trouble laughing at itself.
That's where I come in
Keep laughing
Thx A

I appreciate the comment Steve
Comedy is so subjective and how we all use it.
Human stuff is fun to examine.
I'll keep putting it put out there.
Often I use humor to defuse relationship issues.
It's a good tool !!

Comedy is a great deflection... so is poetry, and music. Wrap it up in an artsy bow and call it entertainment, and suddenly nobody minds you whining about your problems. But geez, don't actually TALK about that shit! Now that's uncomfortable! LOL
Good observation.

Nothing like a good laugh ....possibly at someone else's expense if good natured. But these days It feels like many have lost their sense of humor. I, just the messenger, you know ?

Actor and comedian always provides content to entertain or deliver a message to the spectator
It's just acting and we don't have to find the clown always happy away from the stage
Life is to live it with its negatives before its positives
I like what you wrote

Perhaps hearing about issues presented on the stage makes people feel better about their own.
They laugh when you can laugh at yourself and that's quite comfortable and uplifting perhaps.
But when you confide in someone, often that's too close for comfort and people want to distance.
Perhaps it's best that I hold most things in and suffer in silence while putting on a great show.
When people 'pay' for something they will often make it fit the expectations to enjoy it.
Definitely agree with Adel that people are so scared of being of being cancelled. (with good reason)
There is always something to get upset about these days it seems.
That's why uninhibited comedy with friends is so much better. :p
And like she said "always be yourself. The one's who truly care will stick around and help
you improve your comedy" That's perfect. ;)

I don't know how to be anyone other than me.
To do so would be a lie and despite everything I do for work lying to protect, in real life I like the truth. I wonder which is funnier ??
I like the suffer in silence line, I do that myself. Or sneak out the back door when I'm at a party because the truth is I'm all about one on one.

People thought Van Gogh was a loser.
Andy warhol was shunned at first, and he went away and painted soup, the modern masterpiece.
Pollock pissed it all away leaving behind art so ahead of its time.
You see where I'm going with this.
I tell it like i see it. your poetry and art are powerful.
Fuck the two faced ingrates

You know I stopped trying to please people a long time ago with my art. I just do it for me. When I do commission work once in a while it's such a struggle. When I do it for me, there's flow. I haven't painted in several months but the urge is coming back as it always does. It's an awesome feeling knowing I will return....
Always appreciate your insightful and inspiring comments James

Maybe it is what we in French call ''rire jaune'': the audience is not laughing at you........it is that at some point they recognize their own frailties.

With the spotlights and the mic, folks want entertainment, some aren't ready to hear the truth, so they laugh. But behind the curtain...
Great question to ponder on.
