Warning: I got called out at a Chicago comedy club for a joke about my own family, and now I'm not sure who was right
Two weeks ago at an open mic in Wicker Park, a guy in the back yelled that my bit about my uncle's accent was punching down, even though it's literally my own family. Half the room laughed with me, the other half went dead quiet, and I still don't know if I should've apologized on stage or doubled down. Where's the line between a personal story and a stereotype when it's your own people?
