Stand-up comedians are human beings and the kind of comedy you write will eventually reveal the kind or human being you are. If you confuse cruelty with strength and strength with a weapon, you’re probably a pretty sh*tty human being and you're gonna make a pretty sh*tty stand-up comedian. -Dana Gould

There is no such thing as a cruel, racist or harmful joke. Those are not jokes, they are statements, and people who laugh at them are not laughing at jokes. They are laughing at cruelty, racism and harm.

Feedback from last night’s program:

Thanks again for a fantastic presentation yesterday! You still have the best PowerPoint slideshows of anybody out there, and you incorporate your well-researched and engaging narration seamlessly. I know our audience appreciated it, too, because they laughed throughout and thanked me as they left. We also had several new faces that were actually involved in circus work, and I got the impression that you got their stamp of approval, too.

I hope your experience with us was a good one, too, and that we can work together again soon.
