I completely agree, and It couldn't have worked out better! Right? He is a twin, Sam is a twin, I liked Sam lol! He was cool, so was the entire audience! Very funny, he definitely found his calling as a comedian! ☆☆☆☆☆

[@lancebaker1374]

actually, not literally. He can't figuratively talk, so literally is not appropriate.

[@xipheonj]

@@lancebaker1374 Yes literally. I'm referring to the difference between when he is talking to the guy in the audience and asking him questions, the literal conversation, and the feeling of when he's just telling his jokes, what felt like a figurative conversation. You are right that he wasn't figuratively talking, but he was "figuratively talking with the audience". You had to read the entire sentence to get the full context, not just extract two words. I was describing how it felt like his entire set was a conversation with us. The way he spoke was like he was talking with us, not at us.
