Was it a Gallagher show and you were wearing white?

Will I be one of the only white people in a sea of black people? I never go to anything bigger than a movie, and even that's like once a year. (No, I don't get out much.)

You’re afraid of black people?

I am guessing more afraid of standing out and becoming a person the comedian makes fun of.

Can you imagine being Black and being this stressed out by this type of thing? I can’t! I’d be dead from all this stress. Your fears are weak.

For real. POC are in these situations every freaking day. Get over it and go if you’re interested. (Sidebar - if you really think Trevor Noah’s fan base is so all-black, you may not really know much about him or his work).

OP here. I read his book on the suggestion of a coworker, liked it, and that's pretty much all I knew. Do I need to know everything about someone to the point of knowing the demographics of their audience to see them perform? At his show last night I sat with a couple on my left who were in their late 70's and a couple on my right who were in their 20's. So now I know.

Sure you can! Go, have fun!

I went to see David Sedaris alone. I arrived to the Kennedy Center early and met him at the book signing before the show.

He wrote in my book in big colored sharpies,
To Larla, ALONE!

Thanks David.

Can we all agree that in a situation like this, we should just GO FOR IT? Life is short and we need all the good experiences we can gather.
