Comedians can articulate some important and profound ideas that address a lot of the hypocrisy we're inundated with (in the media).

I belong to a gym now... well, let me rephrase that: I don't belong there at all, but I go.

Not that that's the goal, but sometimes these funny insights can also be deeply profound.

Your stage persona is usually a version of yourself, to varying degrees. Some folks do a full-on character, so that's different. But most comics do some version of themselves.

It's a constant process of bouncing ideas off of one another and intuitively arriving at the right decision in the moment.

Ultimately, an audience wants to laugh. That's who they like, the comedian who makes them laugh.

Comics definitely embody the importance of practicing free speech.
