VIDEO: This is what a stand-up sees when he or she is on stage (for better or worse)

Sean Burke is a brave man

Tony Cuddihy

We like to think we’re funny as feck, but we’d never, ever stand up in front of a room of people and make the jokes*.

Jaysus no. The judgement. The ridicule. The wetting of the pants.

Well, Sean Burke is a far braver man than us and recently performed an entire stand-up gig with a camera strapped to his forehead.

His objective was to simultaneously show his routine and the reaction of the audience. You may get a bit of motion sickness from this – he’s an animated sort of a fella, who just loves tilting his head – but it’s well worth a watch.

*Apart from Eric Lalor, JOE writer and stand-up comedian with balls of steel.
