That happened to me the last time I was in L.A.

I went to a party.

where it was one of those parties where like no one a lot of people didn't know each other well and i realized that every conversation was essentially me pitching myself as a comedian even though i was not trying to do that but the questions that they ask are they'd be like so what are you here for and when is your show and when do you do your show yeah it's like it lends towards that and i had i like started to have and i'm not really this isn't normally like my vibe but i did start to have like a minor panic attack and i was like in the middle of this girl being like i'm

and like so how many stand-up shows have you I was like um I actually go to the bathroom and then went in and fully had to like look in the mirror and do breathing exercises to be like you can pitch you can do this for another hour you can get through this it's like it's crazy because it's like all we want to ever do is talk about ourselves kind of to some extent but then they ask the same questions over and over again and you're like can you ask me about my dad

Hell yeah.

I mean, you were shown you were ready to eat all the food.

Also, if you had gone up stoned after eating like nine slices of pizza to Marissa Tomei and been like, I love you on La Norte SVU, she would have been like, police!

So you kept the braid?

Can I ask, when you're wearing, like –

I guess they have to know that you're going to, if they're renting it out.

They do.

Okay.

Yeah.

That's yeah.

I got into it.

So I moved to New York like 11 years ago.

And my first thing was improv.

I did a ton of improv.

Love.

Every great stand-up origin story.
