Hello there,
On the blowing my own horn front, I offer up a video of the first time
yours truly ever stood up in front of a crowd with the express purpose
of trying to make folks laugh.
You may enjoy it, and such:

Yep, lots of nervous tics, rapid fire incomprehensible English, and
some botched punchlines, but all in all not that bad.
Standing up comically in front of people is enjoyable!
Have fun,
Kyle
