That sounds okay. I was going to say, if it’s for a talent show or something in downtime, that’s different. And those jokes sound safe.
I feel like, it’s good for women to have a sense of humor at work, but that unfortunately, *being funny* doesn’t help women at work and may actually hurt. It sounds like you’re being smart though.
I said I could see writing it down and not being interested in the person as more than a friend. But yeah, if he comes, that gives you a chance to interact outside of work and see how things go.
Also, TheLadyE, unsolicited advice, but I’d be a little careful how much you incorporate your comedy at work. Totally fine for people to know you do stand-up as a side interest on weekends. I think I’d draw the line at trying out jokes at work though. I would not recommend working routines into presentations. Just my two cents! Certainly there’s room for jokes at work and having fun, but comedy that’s, for example, self-deprecating, or about anything remotely political (feminism, whatever), could resonate in ways you don’t intend.
Yeah, see if he actually comes. That’s step 1.
He certainly could be interested, but he also could be a people pleaser type. I can see writing down the date of a co-worker’s performance they told me about and not being interested in them.
ETA, I’m not a people pleaser, obviously. But maybe I’d be being polite, or maybe I’d think I’d enjoy the show or it could be a drinking opportunity with other co-workers or something. Or maybe I’d want to make out with them, idk.
