For years, non-New Yorker friends asking for comedy recommendations were surprised when I'd say "anywhere but the Cellar or The Stand." And I'd have to explain at length the creepy backstage politics and debate pervertry that Club Owners engage in. Luckily, this pretty much says everything.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech".
