I think I'm in a place where I'm finding a balance in my comedy because before 2012, I wasn't vulnerable, really. I was pretty much mainly observational. And then I, of course, had that... Took a left turn at Albuquerque. Yes, I did. And... And then I realized, like, there is, you know, I do love silliness. And I love observational comedy. And I love sharing intense stories about myself.

But I really have decided I'm going to share what feels right, when it feels right. I'm not going to give the audience... What they want, because I realized what they want is what I want. You know, I have to be happy. I have to be up there wanting to really tell these stories and jokes. Because that was kind of a fear of mine after my album, it's called Live, after that came out.

I thought I remember I was in backstage in Iowa City. It was my first time to perform on the road after that album. And after I was healthy again, and I was standing backstage going, Oh, man. I'm going to let this audience down. They're all here. It's a sold-out theater. You know, my turnout had bumped up to where I was now doing theaters.

And I just thought, I don't have any bad news to tell them. I just, you know, what if they only know me for having cancer and all of that stuff? And I walked out.

But I just thought, well... I just have to go out and do what I want to do, and hopefully they'll follow. And they were incredible. And it was such a fun show, and I will always be so thankful to Iowa City because I really thought this was where I was going to kind of slip off, you know, because I wasn't going to give them what they wanted. And that's when I really realized, like,

They just want me. If they're a fan, they want me. And this is where I am right now. I don't have cancer. I'm happy and I'm healthy. And I have other things to talk about. So I'm just finding that balance of what I'm sharing.
