The Importance of Comedy Writing

I'm annoyed that it's now taking precedence over being funny. I love when somebody's well dressed, but within comedy, I want to be funny first. There's a lot that comes in between being funny and advocacy. When are you starting stand up? I absolutely refuse to do stand up. It's a hard thing to do. Give me a premise. Giving me a premise is not the way to go. Leave me be. You're a comedy writer who doesn't do stand-up. Love it if they're happy doing it. But neither is interchangeable.
