The silence after a joke faceplant is a hell like no other. It’s a vast, empty space where you can physically feel the disapproval of everyone in the room. You stand there, a comedian who has just been booed off the world’s smallest stage.
One man recently lived that nightmare, but the stakes were a little higher. His single, ill-timed joke detonated, getting him fired and escorted out of his new job. To add insult to embarrassment, the person at the center of the explosion was his boss’s disabled daughter. Cue the crickets.
