Click here to reply to @funnyjamescomed "I think that's something that's, you know, I think the term genius, maybe, maybe they have more of them more frequently, but I think we all do have moments of genius. And comedically speaking, it can strike anywhere. Anybody. You know, I've seen, typically people I consider unfunny have moments of pure brilliance on stage. So it ebbs and flows. I think the, there's a healthy balance between the two of them."

Click here to reply to @funnyjamescomed "The post Bringer show Penny drop. Wait. It wasn't because I was funny bringers. I could go on for days about these. Ultimately, I think they serve a purpose in the economic structure of the comedy business, certainly for promoters and clubs. I also think they serve a purpose in a young comedian's career as well. They give you a chance to build confidence and a lot of times on stages that otherwise you would have no business being on."

But, you know, for teasing people for the sake of making other people laugh and another person feel terrible is something I definitely shy away from. And I think most people do, really. I think Hill, Tony, and the roast comedy cultures, they're, you know, exists to appease the willing, and that's okay."

Click here to reply to @funnyjamescomed "They say there are two types of comedians, ones who never got hugged and ones who got hugged too much. What are your thoughts here? I think that goes for everybody. Probably not just comedians I know. You know, a lot of comedians I know deal with trauma by making jokes and laughing about it. And I think that's a pretty natural, normal human response."

I didn't know we were supposed to be being honest on stage. Oh, my God. I have a lot of, uh. I got a. I got a lot to think about. Um. Wow. Yeah, no, I think anything goes, man. We're up there to get laughs, so do the job. Make people get laughs."

This is the hugged a lot as a kid, which I assume doesn't mean you were molested. Like, boundary crossed. But I do recall seeing interviews with Tina Fey, separate interviews, Mindy Kaling. And then I just read Leann Morgan's book, you know, all three hilarious women with such clear points of view, so successful, so funny."

Click here to reply to @jgold777 "But also, I don't know if it's because I'm a comic or writer, but when I smell that somebody is just flat out lying on stage. Not lying, but just going for the joke, it's not as funny to me, for sure. Like, I think part of the exchange is we're excited to see somebody get on stage and give us a piece of red meat or authenticity to make us feel less alone. So if you're not dishing out some actual."

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "I'm dying to answer this question because I have been on stage for the better half of my life, whether it's as an emcee or doing comedy or mostly doing music. But the last few years, I pepper my life with going on stage, but it's not a regular thing. And I bring that up because I think when you're really jamming and doing it a lot, you've got, like, uniforms that you just throw on and, you know, they work."

And she's laughing, but also, it's like, it's just evidence that, well, I'm not even sure what the evidence is. What was real? I don't even know. That's what's crazy."

Click here to reply to @BehindTheJoke "So the whole, like, mean comedy trend, that's just huge right now, I have to admit. I mean, I respect it. I wouldn't say, like, hats off to kill Tony. Geez. Like, what a juggernaut. What a, you know, cash cow. Like, it's an incredible business that's flourishing, and he's excellent at it. I have to admit, the kind of gong show schadenfreude freak show aspect to it makes me uncomfortable."

And for me, stand up comedy has been the first pure form of not needing to ask for permission. There's no middlemen or women. It's just you in the audience, and if you're funny, you know, they'll laugh."

And the real dance was, could I do it in a way that the men had fun? And they did, except for one male comic who got up after me, very famous back in his day comic, and made a point of saying, I hate the word vagina. It's disgusting. I like the word pussy. Tight pussy."

That seems to work pretty well. I have, like, my jumpsuit look, which. Yeah, that seems to be. It's almost like the proletariat worker thing."
