And even as a comic, like you're still like, you get your jokes down and you tell those jokes, you tell those jokes and then you sell those jokes and then you have to come up with more jokes.

So work in, work by definition is repetitive.

And so as someone who doesn't enjoy repetitive things, the travel behind standup gets me to break that

monotony because every show is different even though you're telling the same jokes how you tell the jokes is different always based on how the audience interprets them so as much as it's the same it's different but sometimes you get tired of doing your sets you're just like all right me and my home with the mustard museum you want to hear about it and then the first time you're set is you and your friend at the mustard museum because you're in madison wisconsin why not

Little bit racist.

And she she I came home and I told my mom that they put me in the lighting.

I was going to be doing the lighting stuff for the theater.

And my mother's like, you're not going to join the theater program.

And I was like, what?

She said, you're not supposed to be doing the lights.

You're supposed to be performing.

And my mom at the time worked at the school.

So she was like, no, you're not doing it.
