How I felt I was on stage during my first stand-up performance versus how good I really was after watching the tape.

I have talked, on and off, about performing stand-up comedy since I was 20. For whatever reason (my theory is I'm both unmotivated and a gigantic pussy), I never did so until recently. Yes, I, Pete Maybe and Othman Bouchareb, your favorite podcast hosts, signed up for the DC Improv's "Five Minutes To Funny" class, which culminated in the performance of five minute sets by all three of us in front of a full crowd. Hear about the process of writing a set, honing it and then standing in front of strangers while talking about how little sex you get on the latest Papa's Basement.
