Why do comedians think their jobs are so important? I mean I like stand-up as much as the next guy but in terms of “jobs that could be eliminated without any real consequences” it’s near the top of the list
Unironically, because stand-up comedy in the late ‘70s into the early '90s was an important mechanism of how the boomers rallied and reconsolidated for another, successful, push
As continuity with the immediate post-war urban world, this was like, Woody Allen’s thing
