I've been doing auditions and stuff.

And I think that like I have a pretty good gauge of like if I landed a role and I heard like the feedback on it, I think I'd know like, all right, that's like when it's valid and when it's not.

You know what I mean?

But my biggest fear is that, like, what if I did get, like, such a huge ego that I'm like, oh, these idiots don't know what they're talking about.

Like, I'm so talented.

I feel like that's scary.

That's a scary part of the entertainment industry is, like, when you believe the wrong stuff.

Or I feel like you shouldn't believe any of it, right?

Like they say, the good comments and the bad comments.

none of them are true.

You have to know how to tell the line between confidence and cockiness.

For anybody who's been to my shows and has not liked the crowd work, I'm sorry for that, but I'm having fun with it.

And I think the majority of the audience is having fun with it, especially the ones that I'm fucking with that I like talking to, you know?

Do people complain that you're doing crowd work?

I've had a couple messages over the summer where they're just like, hey, man, you did a few jokes and then you just were talking to the crowd the whole time.

But the thing is that it's fun.

And I don't want to complain about my job because it's either that or you watch me open mic it or do rehearsed jokes.

And it's true.

You can tell when a comedian is not enjoying their job.

And you hear comedians talk about it.
