Today, I did my first night of open-mic standup. The first 5 minutes went badly, but I don't know if it got any better afterwards, because a drunk audience member climbed up on stage and knocked me out. FML

Today, at an open mic comedy club, my jokes went down so poorly that someone decided to hurl a chair at me on-stage. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to sing at an open mic night. I lost my cool halfway through because all I could hear was laughter. FML

Today, I was singing and playing keyboards with my band on stage at a club. A drunken chick from the crowd tried to climb up onto the stage in her heels, fell, and grabbed the back of my mic stand to catch herself. And busted me in the mouth with my own microphone. Then she requested a song. FML

Today, I was doing stand-up comedy at open mic. The guy I like started laughing, but before I hit my punch line. Apparently, when I was speaking, I was occasionally spitting, and in the very bright light it was easy to see my spit hitting people in the face. They kept a tally. FML

Today, I had my first concert and was really anxious about screwing up my performance. Good news: I played fine. Bad news: as I walked off the stage, I tripped over my own feet, face-planted the floor, and busted my nose open. FML

Today, it was graduation day, and the very first time I was hosting an event. When I got on stage, I stared at the audience for a good 5 seconds, then fainted. FML

RAWK N ROLL!!!

Today, my band played its first real gig. It was going well, and I, the vocalist, thought it would be a good idea to stage dive. I underestimated the distance between the stage and the crowd and crashed into the floor. FML

Karaoke night

By helluvasinger - 12/11/2009 11:00 - South Africa

Today, I went to a karaoke bar that my girlfriend works at. I'm a halfway decent singer, so I picked out a song we both liked and decided to give it a go. Halfway through the song I sneezed, tripped, fell off the stage and knocked myself out in front of my girlfriend and fifty bar patrons. FML

Today, I was performing for a fairly large crowd with my band. I decided it would look cool to stand on one of the speakers and sing from there. It did look pretty cool for a bit until I tried to step off and fell face-first on the floor mid-song. FML

Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML

I think he may of taken the knock-knock joke a tad too literally.

I bet the audience though that was the best punchline of the night.

My first night doing stand up was awful! The next two times were pretty bad too. But hey! At least you got up there and tried! Not a lot of people can say they've done that.

I hope someone called the police. You should definitely press charges

Don't be a snitch, and it'll be great material for next time

No, I think someone getting knocked out by a drunk bastard is police call worthy.

You would have done better saying you were a magician - you made the audience disappear!

You deserve props for even going on the stage and for trying to make an audience laugh. Considering how many people have anxiety and problems with public speeches, I give you high five. Not in the face though...you already got that covered.

That's what comedians call of "hecklers", people who just go to the comedy club to get shit-faced and mess up with the comedian's show. But this guy crossed the line, i hope the security guys took properly care of his ass! BTW, I know that you're in the beggining of this, but you will a lot more of these hecklers, don't be afraid though, they can be very useful to crack some wise jokes and make fun of..

"No comments from the peanut gallery" got its expression because that's where many hecklers were known to usually sit.

Haha sorry thats kinda sad you let a drunk guy not only climb on stage but then knock you out? You never heard of ducking or blocking or moving out of the way?? On the bright side it will be great material for your next show!
