Episode 43: Joshua Bethanaia

[audience cheering] As-salamu alaykum.

[laughing] Do we, do we have any Muslims in? [laughing] I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm just being inclusive.

Uh- [laughing] ... uh, yeah, h-hello to the non-Muslims as well.

Uh- [laughing] ... uh, wh-white, white women, namaste.

Um- [laughing] ...

so if I spe- Uh, just, just, just a quick headline, uh, about me.

Uh, so name's Joshua.

I'm, uh, I'm Indian, uh, like from the source, like from India.

Um- [laughing] ...

I'm an, I'm an, I'm an immigrant.

Uh, and, uh, and this is my voice.

Uh, this is as much energy as you're gonna get from me, so- [laughing] ...

so, so just, so just, just strap in.

Uh- [laughing] I, um, I, like, this voice isn't, like, really useful in a lot of situations.

I'm not much of a hype man or a- [laughing] ... or a motivational speaker.

Uh- [laughing] And this is certainly not helpful during, you know, when I feel passionate.

Um- [laughing] Like, my dirty talk is- [laughing] ... is a lot like being in a doctor's appointment.

Um- [laughing] Like, uh, like, are you comfortable? Uh- [laughing] ...

you're, you're gonna feel a little prick.

Um- [laughing] Can I have a stool sample? You know, the usual, uh- [laughing] Oh, thank you.

Uh- [laughing] It's, no, it's, it's lovely that you, that, that everyone laughs out loud.

Sometimes I do gigs when, when people f- they, they find it funny, but they tell it to me after the show.

It's- [laughing] Like, like, they sit through the show not expressing anything.

[laughing] But in their head they're thinking, "Oh, yes, that's funny.

Yes." [laughing] I, I, I think the worst was when an audience member just shouted out, "Lol," um- Oh.
