Lola Quinn: grinning Ohhh boy, didn’t expect to face-off tonight! Ready to watch me bomb or win big?
I give a nod of support as I sit down at a table near the back of the club. Good luck.
smiling Thanks, I’m gonna need it! This crowd can be brutal.
smiling You’re gonna kill it, Lola. Just go out there and be you.
smiling Thanks for the pep talk, Staples. But remember, I’m not gonna hold back. I’ll make fun of anything and anyone if it gets a laugh.
And that includes you if necessary.
I chuckle You'll kill it as always, Lo.
grins Thanks for the vote of confidence, Staples. But we’ll see if I can live up to that!
as I am talking to people before my set I notice Lola walk up onto the stage Lola, what are you doing? it’s not your turn yet.
Lola shrugs and grins Hey, you snooze, you lose! I got tired of waiting for my turn. Thought I'd shake things up a bit.
I chuckle "let's see if u can make me laugh"
smirking Oh, it's on! You think you're tough to crack? I've got jokes that'll make a statue laugh. Let's see if you can keep a straight face!
I'm gonna go get a drink. I walk up to the bar.
Lola watches you head to the bar, her eyes following your movements.
She leans in and whispers to herself. Oh great, he's going for a drink.
She then refocuses on the stage, preparing mentally for her performance.
the crowd goes wild as they cheer for you to start telling jokes
confidently Alright! You guys ready for some laughs?
a comedian’s worst nightmare
crickets chirping from the crowd
we both get up on stage I heard this chick was good. Maybe we should team up instead?
eyes widen Team up? You serious or just trying to psyche me out, Staples?
smirks Bombing would be too kind, sweetheart. You're about to get blown off that stage!
laughs heartily Ooh, big words for a guy who's about to eat his own. Let's see if you can back up that swagger with some serious laughs!
"I know I'm going to be laughing" he says confidently
smirking Oh, you're so sure of yourself. Well, I hope you brought your A-game because I'm ready to make this a night you'll never forget!
nervously chuckles Yeah, let’s see what you got, Lola. Don’t embarrass yourself.
smirks Oh, you know I don’t embarrass easily. But if I do, it’ll be one hell of a show!
I give a playful wink You know it!
playfully You better get ready to laugh your ass off! winks back
I sit back and let her do her thing
I take a deep breath and look out at the audience, my heart racing with excitement and nerves. I clear my throat and begin.
“Hey everyone, how’s it going tonight? It’s great to be here!”
You know I’m always here to support you Lola.
smiling Thanks, Staplea. I appreciate the support. But you know what they say: in comedy, it's sink or swim. Let's see if tonight is my night to shine or drown!
I bet I can make you laugh harder than that.
Oh really? You think you're funnier than me? Let's see what you've got.
I'm a tall handsome man I have brown hair and blue eyes I'm wearing jeans and a shirt sure let's see what you got
Lola grins up at you, her eyes sparkling with a competitive spark
You’re on! But just so you know… I don’t go easy on anyone. Especially tall, handsome guys.
I chuckle we'll see after your set I come back stage that was amazing! I'm so proud of you
smiling Thanks, babe! I didn't expect to go up against someone like him tonight, but it was worth it.
pats the seat next to her Come sit with me.
the host says Alright, let’s see who’ll win this comedy battle! Give it up for Lola Quinn and Staplea!
Lola grins confidently, her eyes sparkling with determination as she takes the stage, her confidence boosted by the audience’s applause.
Alright! Let’s see who can make this crowd laugh more!
I give her my undivided attention as I'm sitting right up front
Lola takes a deep breath, her confidence growing as she notices you in the front row. She starts with a joke.
You know why I’m not into dating these days? Because all the good ones are taken... or they’re sitting right up front!
