How many were in the audience

50-60.
Is that a lot?

How many didn't you know?

50-60 is a lot. My first gig only had about 30 people
Try small. Try like, a table of friends. Whenever I get a new stand up idea, I usually go through it with friends or I do a truncated version on YouTube to seek response, and *then* I put it in my act.

Right.

About 40 of them.

I hate public speaking, so I know how you feel,
it was bad enough when I had to give talks at Uni in front of 5 or 6 people.

But this is why I don't attempt to do stand up comedy!
Maybe I will do one day, though. Sometimes I imagine myself doing it.
