Great to see you back on Steemit, Fran Noble! Your enthusiasm for stand-up comedy shines through in your post. It's true that comedy can indeed provide a refreshing break from boredom and lift our spirits. Tabish Hashmi seems like a talented comedian and it's great that you enjoyed his show so much. Your humorous classroom presentation scenario certainly sounds like it could make for a funny routine! Keep up the good work and I wish you good luck in the contest!
