I've never done online dating.
It's much more fun to share and laugh at the bad times and the frustrations. I find you get a much deeper connection with the audience that way.
I prefer being totally sober myself.
I write characters that are based on elements of people I know and experiences I've really had.
Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot.
I always have my setlist planned out, but the best moments are when the energy of the crowd just gets your mind working and you are able to come up with new tags for jokes and just riff off things in the room.
