After years of being away from the spotlight, Lip Harrison decided to return to his roots in standup comedy. He knew that he’d evolved during his downtime and was eager to test out his new material. Like Rock and Chappelle, he felt he’d graduated to a point where he could speak his version of the truth, while still making the audience laugh.
As he stood before the eager crowd, spotlight in his face, microphone in his sweaty hands, he began his routine.
No one laughed.
So in desperation, he returned to his classic fart jokes and brought down the house.
