Michael Jr.’s Quick Comeback to Audience Member Is Comedy Gold

Michael Jr.’s quick comeback to an audience member is comedy gold. The popular funnyman has a lightning-fast, witty response during an exchange with someone in the front row. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear their conversation and Michael’s quick, hilarious retort to the audience member.

Stand-up comedy is not an easy field in which to make a living. Most comics, before they ever gain any fame or following, have to cut their teeth at open mic nights, going from club to club. That can be something they do for years. And even then, success is not promised.

Some sets will go great, while in other instances, comics will bomb or get little to no laughs. Making it in the comedy world requires a lot of tenacity and perseverance. Being funny, making people laugh themselves silly regularly, will also go a long way since that is pretty much the only job description for a stand-up comic.

Another thing that is incredibly helpful when trying to make it as a stand-up comic is possessing a razor-sharp wit and being quick on your feet. Some might argue that these skills and attributes can be developed, while others say you either have it, or you don’t. A clip posted on YouTube shows a comedian, Michael Jr., who most certainly has both of these.

In the video, Michael is having a conversation with a member of the audience. Of course, like every other conversation with someone, you just might, one of the first questions asked will be about the other person’s name, which is exactly what Michael does. However, he takes this hilarious step further in his response.

“What’s your name, sir?” Michael asks.

“Rob,” the man in the audience says.

“Rob?” Michael says. “I got a friend who used to do that for a living. Yeah, he don’t do it no more, though. He’s, he’s someplace else right now.”

Who comes up with something like that right on the spot? That just shows you how fast the mind of a comedian works.
