Patrons at LA’s Laugh Factory was treated to a surprise performance by the Clippers superstar. Griffin, who is the face of Vizio televisions, took his slam poetry to the big stage. Hit the jump for details

Via Fox Sports:

He did poetry on his mouthpiece, and after chomping on it during his routine, he threw it into the crowd: “Sometimes, I sit and wish you were alive so I could hit you with an … itty bitty high-five. Standing on a tiny pedestal. Holding a tiny ball. Bobbleheadddd, bobbleheaddddd, you know all.”
Griffin was well received, even if it was just a small crowd. He wasn’t nervous.
“No, because I was able to look down and reference and read,” Griffin told FoxSportsWest.com. “It’s a little different being on stage like that by yourself.”
And it helped that he scored laughs.
“The first laugh is always key,” Griffin said. “I’ve done some improv stuff. Once you get your first laugh, you’re good. Up until that point it’s a little nerve-racking.”
