The Strike at the Comedy Store

There's also a couple different directions the stand-up comedy stuff goes in the book including talking about sort of the mythology of this authentic stand-up comedian who's free from work and it was making me think about my experience. I did stand up a handful of times probably almost 10 years ago now but when I tried doing it I felt awkward about being the center point of the room like I've got a background in improv but there's something that kind of authoritative and lecturing on stage. Do you think there's something about stand- Up comedy that encourages a leadist comedy or encourages this sort of like domination based comedy? It's such an American form too so hyper-individuating
