What do you think a salad is?

That's all they have there. I can't recommend. So sorry to disrespect anybody who lives there currently or is from there who loves it. But, you know, not every city is for everybody, you know.

Yeah. I mean, I will say... I haven't really bombed since Phoenix. Thankfully. Thankfully. You're too good. And so like most of the material and I don't change the material really for audiences. I never have even. And like I'm very proud of that. I've gotten some really nasty, like very specific to me jokes like to hit and land.

But you do have to like really like get them on your side first and sort of like get them to trust you. And then you can do the weirder shit. And that's the stuff that like right now, especially I love to do the most. And like I have a joke right now that like is the build up to it is that like I am in love with a horse and, you know, bestiality is tough, especially in this climate.

Judgment everywhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that joke, unfortunately, you know, it really does hit with some of them. If I'm performing for like an alt comedy crowd, you know, who expects it to be weird. Yeah. And it's like, again, like, I think like there's a difference in a crowd that's like comedy literate because they already know what the obvious punchline is. to a joke is.

And so like, we're all trying to stay ahead. And like, honestly, the internet has made it really hard because like you like tweet out a joke and it becomes a meme and it becomes disseminated around and everyone, no one knows who started the joke.

And so like, we're all trying to stay ahead. And like, honestly, the internet has made it really hard because like you like tweet out a joke and it becomes a meme and it becomes disseminated around and everyone, no one knows who started the joke.

Yeah. And it's so frustrating because like you do that obvious punchline of the joke you wrote and people are like, oh, that's from the meme. And you're like, no, it's not, bitch. It's from my stand up. It's from me. I'm going to kill myself. No, literally.

And like, it's not always super helpful because if you're performing for a comedy audience that has seen like maybe one or two comedy shows in their entire life, they don't even know what the obvious punchline is yet. So if you're trying to go to step two and stay ahead of it,

yeah you just left them behind and they're confused you know and so i prefer to perform for crowds that have seen a lot of comedy and love comedy and like have a lot of context for it yeah um and then like you know you do have to sort of like um when i'm performing here in la especially at some of these clubs where it's a lot of tourists and it's a lot of people who've never seen comedy before yeah i do have to like stay cognizant of that and they may be like i don't change the joke too much i just maybe like will um

Yeah, I mean, it started as like we would go to Fire Island and I would I remember the first trip to Fire Island. I brought Pride and Prejudice with me and I would be reading it on the beach and like kind of look up and be like, wow, this is like really similar to what we're dealing with this week. And everyone was and it started as a bit.

I was like, I'm going to write like a gay Pride and Prejudice set on Fire Island. And they were like throwing shit at me like boo. Like, no, that's a dumb idea. And I every year we would go every summer we would go. I would read a different Jane Austen book.
