My buddy had gotten some front row seats at a comedy club, and during his set, the comedian says "I just turned 50. Which is concerning because I had a midlife crisis at 25." There was very little reaction from the crowd. As the comic gathered himself to continue to the next bit, I said "OHHH, it's a MATH joke!"
He gave a little chuckle, smiled and said, "yeah, a math joke."
I gave myself a gold star for making the comedian laugh at his own show.
I hope he incorporated that into his set to use if the joke doesn't get a reaction, stuff like that would definitely save a flat joke for me.
It was Brian Regan's older brother Dennis.
If anyone has seen him do that bit in the past 10 years or so, let us know if he worked it in!
