South Bend, IN — During a completely improvised stroke of comedic genius, open mic regular Tyler Walters wowed the audience at Quickie’s Grill last week when he accidentally got his foot caught in the microphone cord, and turned it into a funny little bit.
“It’s one of those things you hear about, but never expect to happen to you,” recalled Walters, whose performance was lauded as an exemplary work of art by all nine guests in attendance. “I was working out a bit about peanuts I’d spent months perfecting, when I took a step forward and realized my foot was stuck in the cord. Then I made a little joke about being stuck in a lasso, and the people went wild. I didn’t know I was capable of such a brilliant move, but that’s the way it goes when you have the mind of a genius.”
Although several more comics were slated to perform after Walters that night, emcee Calvin Fowler made the decision to end the show early, claiming nobody could follow what had happened.
“We just come out once a week to try out new stuff,” claimed Fowler, who has not written a new joke in two years. “There isn’t a comic in a hundred mile radius who could have expected to see anything like what Tyler did. I knew I had to pull the plug after his set, because why try to top comedic genius? I mean, a lasso? Fucking brilliant.”
Comedy club owners all over the Midwest have been reaching out to Walters, in hopes of booking him to bring his incredible new act to their stages.
“The kid’s booked up until the end of next year,” said George Moravia, owner of The Wacky Sack in St. Louis. “If I’ve gotta refinance my house to get the ‘mic-cord miracle’ to happen on my stage, I’ll do it, damn it. Nobody’s gonna come to see Gaffigan at my club if they only have to drive an extra four hours to see the lasso bit.”
Walters’ rise to comedic stardom was stunted several nights after his legendary performance, when he was forced to perform on a showcase with a cordless mic.
