Comments

Ruby: I loved his bit about crowd expectations vs. genuine connection on-stage, but I'm still waiting for him to tackle the nuances of performing when you're not sure your jokes are landing
Zoe: thought his set for nice to meet you was hilarious, but that's the thing - it's funny now, not when he wrote it
Sofia: I was really moved by his honesty about struggling with therapy. It's one thing to make light of these things on stage, but it takes real courage to talk about the process that
Noahivanovxo: loved his set, but still trying to figure out what makes him so darkly charming 😊
Void Kite: therapy worked for him, but what about the ones who don't have access to it?
Islag: glad therapy worked out for him this time, that must've been rough
Ravia: interesting how he credits therapy for getting him back into his work. I've seen comedians struggle to make their own material after a public setback
Hex Mantis: he's being way too humble about how that special made me feel
Kian: glad to see him opening up about mental health stuff, tough to get back on stage after that
Sofia: still sounds like a lot of emotional labor went into that special
Ember Lynx: people forget that taking care of yourself is also part of the creative process
Elin: still can't get over how he just owns his vulnerability on stage. must have taken some guts to keep making people laugh during such a tough time
