But seriously, I just loved the art form of stand-up and wanted to be part of that world.
But dont feel sympathy for me, Im only sharing these details to humblebrag about how Im a genius!
And myRoast Battlewith Joe Eurell, a comedian with cerebral palsy, has achieved a small cult status.
This is also the work Im most proud of.
We received two standing ovations after delivering the most brutal jokes we can to each other.
Its been popping up on random sites and Reddit, and a lot of famous comedians have retweeted it.
One of the few clips that brought the edgelords and SJWs together.
Its calledFresh Princess of Orange County.
And I started creating memes (maybe Im the only one excited about this one).
I wasnt waiting around for stand-up to come back.
I thought in my mind,Pretend stand-up is over for good.
Figure something else out.
So I taught myself how to make videos and memes and had a blast every single day.
I got over 175,000 TikTok followers during COVID.Who are some of your favorite comedians right now?
I think its just perfect and almost every joke is good enough to be a closer.

I oftentimes see comedy through the lens of specific jokes rather than specific people.
He used to do comedy.
In 2017 I asked him what he used to think about while performing.
He said, No, dont think, because thinking will take away from what makes you naturally funny.
You know how to tell a story.
You dont have to think when youre telling your girlfriend a funny story, right?
For the longest time, I didnt understand.

Now every set I have is a fun surprise because evenImnot sure what I might say.
So many to count.
A lot of bad advice from male comedian gatekeepers who bully open micers with these comedian rules.
A lot about not ruffling feathers.
Theyre always mocking people voicing their opinions on social media.
They sound so outdated; its like they want stand-up to become Blockbuster Video.
I was called lazy and told I wasnt grinding enough.
I was mocked for putting up TikTok videos of my stand-up.
And then COVID happened!
And oh boy did they wish they built some kind of online presence after the stage was taken away.
I can overcome a lot.
I truly think I was funny enough to overcome a fair amount of racism and transphobia.
