If I wrote a show about lawyers where there’s two lawyers in love I’d have one of them do it with a bartender up on the actual bar and when the other lawyer finds out they’d say I can’t believe you cheated on the bar

I bring a punch bowl and ladle and slurp loudly from the ladle and before the interviewer can speak I pull a flask out of my tuxedo jacket and whisper “you want in on this boss” and spike the punch and I get the job every fucking time I’m like CEO of a hundred companies or something

I play a game on my commute that I call VEST and the rule is when I see a guy who works in an office wearing one of those zippered corporate sports vests I quietly say “vest”

The most important thing about being a comedian is honing your point-of-view and the second is selling that little tray (that you can maybe use for keys or jewelry?) for two dollars on Instagram stories
