But I miss those days.

I think that venue has shut down.

I don't think it exists anymore.

All these places where I have a lot of good memories are gone.

Now, it's so interesting how comedy evolves.

I'm only 12 years in, but now in New York, it's indie clubs.

So the same people that were running the really cool independent shows, they just rent a space or bought a place and they just run it like a comedy club, but it's in Williamsburg and they book kind of those kinds of comedians.

So the model is the same as a New York comedy club or what have you.

But it's just like they're just doing it in neighborhoods where there's cool younger people living.

Yeah, and the vibe is a little bit different.

But it's a club.

So they do that.

Right, they bought the McDonald's, right?

There's five rooms now?

That's incredible.

Did you come up in New York?

You did.

Okay, cool, cool, cool.

But that's everybody's favorite part about New York is just a different audience.

And you can go to Harlem if you want to.
