  • Story time: A lot of people don’t know this, but opening night of the tour almost didn’t happen. Here's what went down. Yes, we’re also doing vlogs now. Just wait, your boy is about to hard pivot from stand up comedy to unboxing videos.

    I like that they showed this cuz it shows just how many people work behind the scenes for an apparent one-man stand up performance

      @@Yalettaneedsstructure I mean everyone knows that the person you can see performing isn't the only one who made the show happen, but a lot of the times, you just don't think about the bts people

    As someone that would have had a mental breakdown even if 1 powerpoint slide was suddenly missing 30 minutes before my English class presentation, I can't imagine how nerve-wrecking it must have been to know people are waiting and Hasan can't rely on the entire format he had rehearsed with. Being a performer is no joke.

    • @dash-x
      @dash-x Před 2 lety +2

      Right!? The show must go on.
      Just pop that propranolol. Reminds me of Bo? Who is also a consummate professional. He would have full on panic attacks whilst performing, but the audience couldn’t tell.
      When I used to dance they taught us it didn’t matter if your hair came out or a piece of clothing came off. Even if it was a shoe for whatever reason. You keep going.
      I couldn’t imagine that much pressure though, for such a large production and how much people pay for tickets. Eek!

    Wowww. This makes so much sense. I was at this show and assumed we started so late because - miami time. Nobody ever shows up on time 😂 best place for a show to start late. It’s just part of our culture hahaha. Beautiful job Hasan and prashanth!
