Since I've been going back to the open-mic circuit in New York City my family and friends have had a lot of questions about what it's like, as if they're harboring some long-forgotten fantasy and would like to live is vicariously through me.

I've noticed a few myths that seem to perpetuate the minds of most of my friends when it comes to stand up comedy, and I'd like to bust that fucking bubble before someone asks me this shit again.

Nobody cares
