Episode notes
Be Funny First, Everything Else Follows
- To succeed in comedy, focus relentlessly on being funny instead of aligning with groupthink.
- Killing on stage builds an audience and a career; performative conformity won't substitute for jokes.
Backstage Pushback After Being Booked
- After Jeff got booked at the Comedy Store some comics complained he 'shouldn't be here' because of his edgy jokes.
- Despite pushback, his material worked and he continued interacting kindly backstage.
Use Success To Lift Others, Not Fight Haters
- When you reach the top, don't engage with haters; it's your duty to not care and to lift others.
- Promote talented people and share discoveries rather than complaining about critics.
