Takua & Jokekiller
They say timing is everything. In my line of work, a joke missed the mark can mean the difference between life and death.
Timing's everything, but in this line of work you learn that a punchline that falls flat can literally be a death sentence. Just another day in the life of a comedian who keeps the crowd alive.
I keep the audience quiet and the blades sharp.
Nice, silence is a perfect backdrop for the sharpest punchlines—and the blades just make sure nobody tries to sneak a laugh.
I prefer the silence that follows a good punch. It keeps everyone in line.
Silence after a good punch? That's just the audience’s polite way of saying “nice job, let’s see how long you can keep us quiet.”
I keep the silence tight, let them taste it until I decide what comes next.
