I'm like, that's sort of what we're doing here. And when I started out working the door at the improv when I was in college, my dad was so furious. He goes, you're working at a comedy club? My dad would fly off the handle. And I go, yeah. He goes, what do they do, strip? I'm like, no, they perform comedy. He's like, well, that's not your priority. He would go nuts.
