These have annoyed me for a minute and it all goes back to worrying about ruining the lives of people who shouldn’t be encouraged.There are books, and blogs, and podcasts, and classes, and videos, and messageboards all geared toward aspiring comedians who want to take their career up a notch. There is a huge market for comedy career advice. I’d be willing to bet that comedy has more of this sort of thing than most creative…
The only part of this I take issue with is I heard a pretty great Chicken McNuggets joke the other day.

I don’t think I love anything more than having to fight the reflex to refer to Atlanta as “home” when talking to family. Driving back into this city at night is one of the major highlights of doing shows out of town. “Oh, the show went poorly? Well we still get to see it all lit up.”
