Stand-up comedy is an art form, born of the desire to have a voice. From dwelling upon the ills of society, to dealing with the heartache of ones id. My goal was to not only remove the mystery of what happens backstage in the shadows that lead from the green room to the power of the stage, but to also show the dire loneliness and process of being a cultural whistleblower.
