It's the mental illness of comedians. I've eaten shit so many times that it won't affect me. It'll affect me a little bit in the moment, but it won't affect me at all. It will not even touch the sides.
Picture this: a room full of centenarians and a comedian without a microphone. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle takes us through his latest adventure—performing at a 100-year-old lady's birthday party. Imagine the scene: Boyle, standing in front of an audience who might not have been expecting comedy, navigates the unique challenges of entertaining an elderly crowd.
With his trademark humor, he shares how he tackled the anxiety of performing sober, without the crutch of alcohol or even a microphone. Boyle’s honesty about his mental health as a comedian adds another layer to his story, making it both hilarious and deeply relatable. He also updates us on the live recording of his other podcast, 'Oppression Chamber', which had to be rescheduled due to Louis CK’s visit to Sydney.
If you're in need of a good laugh and some heartfelt reflections on sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
