I haven't listened to him. I'll check him out! And yeah, man. Comedy is a whole other beast. I've been having fun exploring it with writing but I can't imagine doing it on stage.

Nice bro - Do you like John Craigie?
I was a comedian and actor in my Early 20s...

Beautiful article, Jimmy! I’m still a kitchen-singer and a budding songwriter. Love hearing about your experiences.
Thank you, Lowen! Songs still fall out of me from time to time. The experience is so different from writing essays and fiction.
