I never realized it til I started going to comedy clubs. Watching Comic View and Eddie Murphy/Martin specials growing up made me think it was waaaaay easier. But then I saw how much goes into it...and how a star comedian can just walk on stage and say "shit it's hot" and the crowd will erupt in laughter. Or they can make a silly face. But an unknown comedian? Man.

I have homies who are comedians, and I've even helped them with sets. I actually have decent material that some of them translated into real sets, but I would never ever in life try to do it. I crack a few small jokes when I DJ shows, but I would never try to do story telling comedy even in that setting.
