Comic Has Recurring Nightmare Where He Forgets To Harass Only Woman On Lineup

San Jose, CA — Sources from within the San Jose comedy scene have confirmed that local comedian Kyle Worthington has recently suffered from a series of terrible nightmares, during which he forgets to make a crass or unwanted comment to the only woman on the lineup of a comedy show.

“Every night, it’s the same thing,” recounted Worthington as he fought back the harrowing memory. “I’m watching a female colleague leave the stage at a show, and I sit there applauding politely, instead of yelling something that will make her uncomfortable. Then she just walks away unbothered, and it’s horrible… just horrible. Even thinking about it makes me shudder.”

While being a professional comedian is the aspiration of millions, the road to success can take a toll on a person’s emotional and psychological well-being, according to Dr. Minnie Kaplan, acclaimed psychologist and author of the best-selling book, If They’re Booing, They’re Paying Attention.

“The stress and late nights that go hand-in-hand with being a touring comic are enough to make anyone exhausted,” Dr. Kaplan explained. “Fears of failure can often manifest themselves during dreams. For instance, a comic might dream he is doing something embarrassing, like speaking gibberish or exhibiting basic human decency.”

Friends of Worthington have been offering their support, through social media posts and in person at comedy shows, where he continues to perform.

“It’s so inspiring to see Kyle keep getting up night after night, knowing what he’s going through,” remarked Angie Northrop, a comedian who was on the lineup at a recent show with Worthington. “He’s still his old misogynistic self on stage, but I can tell he is suffering. So I made sure to catcall myself as I walked offstage at our last show together, just to let him know he was among friends.”

For comics like Worthington, there is no known treatment for dreams of this nature, but some doctors claim they can be decreased by limiting food consumption before 2 AM, and not being a total shit to the women in your life.
