Some comedians love crafting a joke. For them, it’s a technique, it’s about precision, and it’s beyond just creating the perfect set-up/punch. But jokes aren’t what I love about stand-up. I didn’t grow up watching stand-up or even listening to it. In fact, the first time I go to a show is when I’m already in LA. It’s my second week there, and my friend Tim invites me to the Comedy Store. I’m 23 then, still a Christian, still a virgin, still uncertain of the world beyond evangelical Christianity.
Love your writing. Keep it coming!!!
Thanks. Insightful and a lot of fun to read.
