And I, like, slowly kind of weaned off stand-up.

And then I did, I started doing it again.

Netflix offered me money for a special.

I started doing it, like, really pat the pavement and going on the road hardcore.

And then I did my Netflix special.

I finished editing it February 2020.

Wow.

Delivered it, then COVID hit.

Then after COVID, I was like, I don't really want to do stand-up anymore.

I want to focus on television and film.

I was burnt out on it, and I was like, I'd rather focus my creative energy.

And if I'm writing all day or filming or, like, by the time I've been thinking about comedy for 12 hours –

I don't really feel like doing stand-up.

So I would go to the stand or New York Comedy Club or a show in Brooklyn or something, and I just didn't have the same... I was here in my early 20s, and all I had was...

Like just, I was full of piss and vinegar in those days.

You know what I mean?

Like you're just hungry for it and that's all you could do.

That's all I had access to.

But now I'm like returning to it and I feel like an unfrozen caveman.

So I'm trying new jokes, but I'm stinking it up out there.
