Sounds like something that takes a heck of a lot of both bravery and practice! But I suppose it’s true of everything, not just standing in front of an audience. It’s learning to say “ta da!” when you walk into a pole on a busy sidewalk. 😛

He is a pretty amazing guy. I recorded his debut on The Late Show last night and look forward to watching it with B this weekend.
