A Comedian Walks Into an Eldritch Bar

A Comedian Walks into a Eldritch Bar, and the  Bartender says "y̸a̴ ̷t̴h̶a̴r̸a̷n̸a̵k̴ ̷̷̶y̵-̵ ̶ ̶̶u̸h̸'̶e̷ ̶i̸l̶y̷a̵a̸ ̴m̶n̷a̴h̵n̷'̸ ̷g̸o̸f̷'̴n̶n̸.̸ ̷ ̶b̵u̵g̷ ̴ ̶'̸a̴i̸̴̶̶̸̴ ̸̶̴ ̴m̴n̷a̶h̶n̸'̴ ̶e̸e̵!̷" and points to a flyer saying *Open Mic Night*

You don’t speak the language but are now forced to do a tight 5 with only the words and runes you picked up from other Eldritch comics. Quickly learn what the crowd finds funny to get out soon, or bomb and be eaten!
