Audience Participation

I just need to write this little bit before I go out and explore this beautiful day.

I am not a fan of audience participation bits where I'm pulled on stage. When it happens to other people that's fine. If I'm the asshole of the performer that pulls someone on stage, that's fine too. I just don't enjoy them happening to me. I like to be on stage, but don't like being on stage by not my choice.
It's really uncomfortable and makes me feel weird and I'm already a really awkward person. . .

So I got picked for an audience participation bit. I didn't volunteer. I was just picked. My friend pulled me on stage. Before he did, I thought I was safe. I thought because he knew me, he wouldn't pull me on stage. Then he grabbed another girl, so really thought I phew no need to worry. But then I shouldn't have thought that. He grabbed me too.

It was a fun little piece of clown. And oddly enough for me not liking being forced to stand awkwardly on stage, it was the best and least awkward part of my weird and awkward friday night surprise date...
