I had always heard about a comedian "bombing" and to borrow a phrase from Bill Cosby - you don't want to see it. It was painful to watch, as I am sure it was painful for him.
Nothing worked - he changed comedy tracks at least 2 or 3 times - even tried pulling out the body parts jokes - nope - no laughing. The most applause was after he pulled himself off the stage.
If there was a Wide World of Sports show for comedians - he would have starred as the agony of defeat. Or maybe that was planned. Rather than warming up the audience from Robert, he was lowering the bar..... No, Robert came on like the professional he was and did a great show. For the other guy - keep trying, but get better material and show some enthusiasm.
