Here’s a list of some of my favorite post show compliments (if you can call them that).

10. “You’re evil.” An older woman said this to me and I’m still unsure if she thought I was funny or not.

9. “I like your pants.” This was whispered into my ear by a middle aged man.  Very creepy.

8. “You were funny. And I usually don’t like woman comedians.” -Various (I get this a lot. Too much. And most of the time it’s from females.)

7. “You were funny. I’ve seen you before on Comedy Central.” -Various. And they are wrong. Unless they saw a commercial I was in for “The Beatles: Rock Band” that aired on Comedy Central which I’m in for almost a second, but usually people think I’m Nikki Glaser.

6. “I don’t like your abortion joke.” – My Dad

5. “Your best joke is the one when you call me a rapist.” – My Dad (He’s not kidding, that’s one of his favorite jokes.)

4. “You were so funny. Do you ever do stand-up?” – Various (I get this after I host shows sometimes, where I do a solid 15 minutes of material.  Other comics get this a lot too. I don’t know why some people don’t think emcee’s are stand-ups.)

3. “That retard bit was hilarious.” – Man; This compliment was actually given to Tim Gage. It’s my bit. Tim does not have a retard bit. Another example of how oblivious audience members can be.

2. “You were my favorite. Have you ever thought about doing a set on a late night show?” – Various. Thanks, guys. That thought never crossed my mind. Gee, I should call Conan and tell him I should do his show.

1. “When you first got on stage, I was like, what does this bitch have to say. And then you started talking… and you were like, really funny. Like really, really funny.”  – A very drunk dude gave me this compliment. I literally laughed for several minutes after this one.
