Something people may not know about me is how much I go gaga over stand-up comedy. When I find a special that really tickles me, I obsessively quote it to anyone who will listen. I will play clips from that stand-up routine to my wife incessantly, even when I’ve played it before.
It’s really, truly because of how much I admire the effort that goes into creating a stand-up routine. Comedy is genuinely one of the most difficult and incredible styles of performance to pull off, especially since the humor relies on your personal experiences being conveyed to a group of strangers.
