Dave Blunt's Chicago Gig: The Oxygen Tank Incident – A Comedy of Errors (and Near-Death Experiences)
Let's be honest, we've all had those gigs. The ones where everything that could go wrong, did. Dave Blunt's Chicago show? Yeah, that was one of those. Specifically, it involved an oxygen tank. And it was hilarious (in a horrifying, "I can't believe this actually happened" kind of way).
The Setup: A Chicago Comedy Club, a Nervous Comedian, and One Very Large Tank
Dave, a seasoned (though slightly neurotic) comedian, was playing a small club in Chicago. He'd been killing it all night, the crowd was buzzing, he was feeling good. Things were going swimmingly. Too swimmingly, perhaps.
The Punchline: A Misunderstanding and a Near-Miss
The club had apparently borrowed a large oxygen tank for some reason. Nobody quite remembers why. It was just sitting there, stage-left, minding its own business. Until Dave, mid-routine, tripped over the dang thing.
Now, here's where it gets really crazy. He almost fell, but recovered with the grace of a startled flamingo. However, in his frantic attempt to avoid a major stage-dive, he knocked over the tank. The ensuing chaos involved a lot of shouting, a near-miss with a very angry bouncer, and a surprised audience member who suddenly had a very close encounter with a metal cylinder.
This wasn't just any mishap; this was a full-blown comedy of errors that played out in real time. I mean, who brings an oxygen tank to a comedy club, right? It's not like Dave needed supplemental oxygen to deliver a killer set. He’s got lungs like a freight train!
The Aftermath: Lessons Learned (and a Hilarious Story)
So, what's the takeaway? First, always check the stage for rogue oxygen tanks before performing. It's a simple rule that could save you (and possibly others) from a whole lot of trouble. Second, maybe we shouldn't question the strange decisions of comedy club owners. And third, Dave Blunt now has a truly epic story to tell, which is more than some comedians get in their entire careers. The whole incident made for some amazing post-show beers, let me tell ya. This is definitely a story that will live in comedy lore for years to come.
It was a crazy night, a near-disaster, and a whole lot of laughs. And for Dave? Well, let’s just say he's added "avoiding oxygen tank catastrophes" to his performance checklist. He's even started working a bit about the whole thing into his act – the crowd goes wild!
