Which is comedy. It’s live comedy. Anything can happen. Royalty in the front row, chaos in the back.
From there, I spiral gently into the fact that I kind of hate the world at the moment. Everything’s on fire, it’s tragic, vibes are bad. Then I pivot — as all great philosophers do — to my messy flat, which is really just a visual representation of my mental state. Messy flat, messy mind. You can quote me on that. Put it on a pillow.
I talk about how, as humans, all we can really do is try. Every day. That’s it. That’s the bar. And some days even that feels like a stretch. Then I completely forget the moral of the tortoise and the hare — there is a lesson there, I’m sure — and I openly admit I should have Googled it.
Towards the end, I get a little soppy. I pay tribute to Michelle Wolf, one of the absolute greats, and talk about my friends who are smashing it right now and inspiring the hell out of me. It’s heartfelt, but don’t worry — we keep it sharp, not Hallmark.
Take care of yourselves. Come see me at one of my future shows. Love you lots.
