It was his debut as a professional comedian - a guy paid him $100 to do 20 minutes of stand up - and Damonde Tschritter bombed at Tabor Arms Pub.

"It was a real 180 degree turnaround from one night to the next," said Tschritter, who lives in Vancouver.
Now, with a decade of stand up behind him and several appearances in Prince George throughout that time, he's coming back.
