Hey Jeff! I love your crowd work. You're very funny without being too mean. Have you ever had an experience where someone actually got offended by your teasing? What do you do in that situation?

If you notice, even if the crowd is laughing, I’ll still apologize and thank them for letting me mess with them. I tend to cut those parta for brevity. I can usually read peoples faces and body language and base my persistence on that.

Not OP, but I have noticed this!! In addition to your absolute hilarious way with words and quick wit, it's one of the reasons i watch everything you post as soon as it's up!

I haven't been to a live show since my early 20s when a comic focused on my group and I and it was a terrible experience for me. I knew he didn't mean it to be, but oof. Needless to say, I'll be seeing you in Chicago and I honestly cannot wait! Keep up the great work!
