Whips and Chains: Sexual. Not Racist.
8 people in the crowd. That’s it.
Small room. No hiding. You say one wrong thing, and a quarter of your audience disappears.
But that’s the game.
You go all in.
I was riffing with a Black couple in the front — we were vibing.
Then I brought up whips and chains. Total freaky talk.
Right after I said it, I stopped myself and said:
“Wait… sorry — that’s not racist. It’s sexual. Not racist!”
I broke down laughing. Couldn’t believe I actually said that out loud. But it was real. It was in the moment. And it landed.
That’s when the woman looked at me and said:
“I can tell you’re having a good night.”
I shot back:
“I’m having a great night. Whether it’s racist or not — I’m having a great night.”
That’s the line you walk in comedy. Say it, trust it, and let the room decide.
Small crowd. Big laughs.
Thank you to those 8 people for laughing — we had fun.
