This chapter explores the evolution of a comic's career within the Boston comedy scene, emphasizing both struggles and eventual success. The speakers share humorous anecdotes, reflect on the dynamics of the comedy industry, and delve into personal challenges, including battles with alcohol and familial influences. Nostalgia for a pre-social media comedy world underscores the complexities of identity and creativity in their journeys.
Greg Fitzsimmons returns to WTF after a 13 year absence, but his dynamic with Marc remains the same as it was when they were comics starting out in Boston almost four decades ago. With a new comedy special out, Greg talks with Marc about his unhealthy relationship with worry, how he broke the self-destructive cycles of his family, and how his relationship with Marc evolved from trying to get in a fistfight with him backstage to reminiscing about their road stories and hard-earned victories.
