Questions on this week's episode of Ask Me Anything #22:
1. How should a new comic in 2026 be thinking about building stage time, clubs, festivals, podcast or something else entirely?
2. How long do you have to pound the pavement as a comic before you start making it?
3. What's a fair deal structure today between comics and managers, and where do you see comics get taken advantage of?
4. How do you level up from a self-built regional comedy career without just being told to "do more content" or "network more"?
5. How do you protect creative momentum when life gets busy and full of other important things?
6. When you read a comedy script or watch a comedy movie, what matters more to you: the jokes or the overall story and characters?
7. In such a competitive industry, how can an editor stand out for a better chance of getting hired for a job?
