It's a shame from a comics perspective. I know from a business perspective, it's great. But like the comedy cellar, like it's funny for people to not even know anymore or remember.

Not that they'll always come through in that regard, but like, you know, you can put me on stage anywhere and assume it's not going to end with me being like, fuck you, fuck you with the audience.
