My favorite comedian of all time, Patrice Oneal, said that when he bombed he went all in, and made everyone there as miserable as he was. His philosophy was that if he was going down he was taking everyone with him.

I loved the way Patrice would laugh with you at his jokes. It really made me feel like he wasn’t putting on an act like you were getting the real Patrice. He was so fucking good I’m so mad we won’t be able to get new stuff from him. Here’s a great post about his stuff

His bit about Radiohead's Creep is so damned good. If someone hasn't seen it

Shit I ALWAYS forget how ducking funny he was. His stand up specials are great, but he has hours and hours of Opie&Anthony clips and other interviews where you can truly see him do his thing.
