Stand-ups need time and practice to get good. When they have to focus on promotion and their social media feeds, the art form suffers.

I enjoyed this exchange because asking to go off the record in a Q and A is like asking for a Big Mac at a Burger King -- > "Will we be able to go off the record for this part of the conversation? I wouldnāt want to have this conversation off the record. The answer doesnāt help me, specifically."
