Mike Moran on why live speaking feels unpredictable. He never knows what he'll say, what the audience will ask, or what lands as funny. Each person chose to spend their time and money there, so he feels the weight of making it matter.

I think the thing that, that's fun about getting in front of an audience is that you never know what's going to happen. I never know what I'm going to say. I never know what the audience is going to ask. I never know what things they're going to laugh at and what things they're not. I never know whether they're going to laugh at the things that I think are jokes or things that I think are serious. I never know what's going to happen. And whether there's 50 people out there or 1,000, The thing that's really interesting is that each one of them has decided to spend their time with me, and I really feel like I owe it to them to give them their money's worth, or their time's worth. I really feel like that's a moment not to be missed.
