He believes comedians should prioritize authenticity in their work above all else.

“just be authentic and, you know, the rest will fall into place.”

He believes that comedians should avoid stealing jokes from others and instead draw from their own life experiences.

“For me, what I do to avoid that is I try to do my my best to talk from my point of view and things that have happened to me or the way I see the world and also turn over my material more often”

A comedian should focus on being authentic and showcasing their own personality rather than relying on character filters.

“And I had to pivot from the character work into showing people more of me being funny. So I had to lose that filter. Mhm. It was all a crutch, right?”

Comedians should avoid relying on specific hooks or characters to be successful.

“I think the people that like stick to those things those hooks they just it they're just one dimensional really”

Comedians should aim to be sincere and vulnerable on stage because it is more surprising to audiences than repetitive, standard comedy routines.

“I think comedians it's our job to be surprising that's what a joke is right we lead you one way we surprise we surprise you and I think that if the onus is on us like maybe the most surprising thing to do sometimes is to be sincere and to be vulnerable”

He believes stand-up comedy performers who have huge followings should avoid playing to rooms filled only with their fans because it creates an expectation for them to be funny.

“if you start having this huge audience that's there just to see you yeah and all these other comics are showing up and they're like yeah well everyone's just like waiting for you to yeah i'll just do a show in like idaho or something like i don't know i don't like the idea of like going out on stage”

She believes comedians should strive to perform for audiences that are not composed entirely of their own fans to challenge themselves.

“you see like i feel like that's like makes it better if you go in a room there's just a bunch of random people they're like all right let's see who's on today's worst nightmare that sounds like a [ __ ] idea yeah i don't ever want to do that yeah but like that's how you that's how you get like i kno”

He thinks that art school is a scam.

“I couldn't agree with you more.”

She believes art school is a scam.

“There is not a better scam on Earth than art school, I got to say.”
