Episode notes

I like going to open mics just listening it's inspiring to me both the funny and the unfunny people because they've been doing it for several years sometimes over a decade yeah. Stand up is almost like playing music in that you know people are going up there playing music but what band have you been listening to that's what you're going to sound like so it's really I mean of course I'm speaking from zero experience but I've heard it takes years of course to find your own voice stand up.
