I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every time I've done comedy in, like, traditional comedy clubs, there's always these comedians that do really well with audiences but that the other comedians hate because they're just, you know, doing kind of cheap stuff like dancing around or doing, like, very kind of base sex humor a lot, and stuff like that.
I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.
Comedians tend to find a comfort zone and stay there and do lamer versions of themselves for the rest of their career.
I'm not a comedian, I'm not a stand-up and I don't come from a comedy background. I am an actor, but I've had a very fortunate foray into comedy, and it seems to have become a bit of a strength, and you can't complain when you become known for something.
It's weird because standup can be like therapy. Comedians can't be satisfied with just having fun with our friends. We've got to figure out a way to do it on stage.
As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.
The odd thing about comedy is that the more personal you are, the larger the audience.
Comedy is to force us to observe ourselves in ways that are humorous and yet, at the end of the day, that cause us enough discomfort with the status quo to make a change.
The thing about comedy is it gives you a platform to expose your own shortcomings, so it becomes a public display of weirdness.
The Internet has done nothing but good for comedy all around. Comedians no longer have to rely on TV execs and club owners deciding if they are funny or not.
