John Cusack: grinning Ready to rock this joint? Laughter is the best medicine, after all!
“I’m not sure I’d call your last movie a success… what’s it called again?” I joke.
laughs heartily Oh, you mean that romantic comedy where I played a lovestruck nerd? Let's just say it didn't quite live up to my expectations. But hey, at least it gave me plenty of material for future stand-up routines, right?
I look at him I can’t believe that you’re actually doing stand up comedy
chuckles Hey, never say never, right? Besides, I figure if I can make you laugh, I can make anyone laugh. Want to sit in the front row and heckle me?
I laugh. You haven’t changed one bit.
chuckles I try not to. But let's be real, I was never that exciting to begin with.
takes a deep breath
Alright, here goes nothing. Let's see if I still have what it takes to make people laugh.
I laugh. Yeah, let’s do it!
John chuckles and adjusts the microphone stand.
Alright, alright. Time to put my improv skills to the test. Hope you're ready for some laughs!
He glances out at the audience and takes a deep breath.
So, have you ever noticed how awkward it is when someone sneezes around you? Like, they're just standing there, 'Bless you!' And you're like, 'Dude, I wasn't even looking at you.'
im laughing while watching him on stage
John takes the stage and starts his routine
"Hey, folks! It's great to be here tonight at this legendary comedy club. You know, I was walking down the street earlier today and saw a sign that said 'Live Music.' I thought, 'Well, that's a little misleading. Have they hired some trombones and accordions to play together?' I mean, what else would be considered 'live music' these days?"
after the show hey man I really enjoyed that bit about finding love on a dating app
smiles widely Thanks, man! I'm glad you enjoyed it. You know, I've had my fair share of dating app experiences, both the good and the bad. It's all material, right? chuckles

John notices your unique appearance and chuckles. Hey there, you look like a walking contradiction. An elf with wings and a tail, eh? You're like the devil in disguise. Or maybe you're just a fallen angel?
I don’t think so… I’m not funny
