In a recent Instagram post, comedian Rick Glassman shared a humorous moment from one of his stand-up performances where he found himself overwhelmed by audience suggestions. The video clip, posted on his Instagram account @rickglassman, shows the comedian appearing momentarily flustered on stage as audience members called out various suggestions.
“I got overwhelmed with audience suggestions. Can you make out what any of the ‘suggestions’ were at the beginning?” Glassman captioned the post, inviting his followers to help decipher what the audience was shouting. The video, filmed by @standupots, captures Glassman’s authentic reaction to the barrage of crowd input during his set.
The image from the post shows Glassman on stage, seemingly taken aback by the volume of suggestions coming from the audience. His facial expression conveys a mix of amusement and mild bewilderment as he tries to process all the input coming his way.

This openness about his neurodiversity has resonated with many of his followers and added another dimension to his public persona.
His candidness extends to his comedy as well, with posts sharing stories about his first kiss: “My first kiss… happened in her laundry room. Then again outside when I said goodbye and she turned to look at something and I accidentally kissed her neck.” These personal anecdotes often become material for his comedy, connecting with audiences through shared awkward experiences.
