And like I saw myself so differently, like also with Broad City. And I wonder how you feel about this, like especially it's like a different thing. And it's so sped up with TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Yeah. Watching yourself filmed and editing it. Editing yourself is powerful and you can really control your own narrative, but it's hard to control the personal growth that's happening. Totally.

I get what you're saying. I'll say this. It doesn't necessarily impede upon or interrupt or diminish or ruin that self-actualization. It doesn't necessarily do that, but it does something to it. Yeah, totally. It's part of it. Yeah. And you're not free from it. Yeah, totally. You're just not if you're choosing to do it. So this was so much freer in that way.

I wasn't fucking filming the experience. Yeah. I get what you mean. I was like, leggings and vintage t-shirts I'm going to get tailored to be crop tops. And that's what I'm going to wear for like six months. You know what I mean? It wasn't like, well, you know, I'd look better if I sort of just lifted the waistline. It was like so...

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
WE’RE ANIMALS THAT CAN GIGGLE Ft. Ilana Glazer | Episode 149
and focusing on stand-up I was like I've done sketch I've done improv but like I really like stand-up and it's kind of the same ingredients but with like the dials turned up and down where you know the um I don't know so it feels similar but it's it's scarier yeah it's more naked it's um
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
WE’RE ANIMALS THAT CAN GIGGLE Ft. Ilana Glazer | Episode 149
um you have to be it's it's more naked and you have to be like stronger in a way to like withstand absolute fucking silence I'm not kidding I was just about to say that's that was my greatest fear I'd rather silence than like pity laughs is gross you know what I mean or like um someone who thinks you're trying your best

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
WE’RE ANIMALS THAT CAN GIGGLE Ft. Ilana Glazer | Episode 149
But stand-up, since I returned to it, and especially this tour with the pause of COVID. I paused for like a year or two with stand-up. And then the reflective experience of having a baby and the distance from Broad City and doing therapy through all of that. I was like, this is a little service that I can offer people.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
WE’RE ANIMALS THAT CAN GIGGLE Ft. Ilana Glazer | Episode 149
And to make it that to draw the lines around it made it much like more containable for me and a lot less like who am I? But more like, oh, here's like a dumb little thing. You don't like it. Yeah, that's totally fine. I get it. I won't say it again. And then like, OK, I'm going to try this little thing, you know, made it more graspable, accessible emotionally for me. Yeah.
