The other week I was drinking at the (student) bar and the one (black) (male) bartender came up to me and this one other bartender's (Indian-American) girlfriend and this one other patron (I forget who was there) and did this whole improvised comedy routine on going to the gym.
He had been doing tons of serious squats, then he went home and had to crouch to pick something up and ended up sitting on the porch and there was a wasp on the door yet he couldn't manage to get up and move, so he just sat there and was like "Hi, wasp," and then eventually was able to go in the house and just sat in a chair and stared out the window for an hour...
He also said his legs were so sore, and just pointed at them and was like, "Repair repair repair!".
He also also said he was trying to swagger for some ladies but he couldn't pick up his feet right, and so he ended up stumbling and looking like a fool, and as he imitated his swagger he slowed down into a stumble that almost became a pratfall.
Really, the entire time, he had these exaggerated gestures and this huge, in-your-face performance style, to the point where it looked like a polished comedy routine, the thing looked so good and the jokes kept coming so fast.
After he left to go back to work in the back bar (there's several bars in the [student] bar), I said to the other bartender's (Indian-American) girlfriend, "Man, I didn't know [that bartender's name] was such a comedian!".
"But he's always funny," she was like.
"I know!", I was like, "But that was a whole different level, it was so polished!".
At that, she agreed.
It was very impressive, and even more so since it seemed so spontaneous.
