Dear Mr Mor,
Comedy Comedy Comedy! That is what you do. That is ALL you do!
You are a Comedian. You think comedy. You write comedy. You live comedy. You breathe comedy. You are ‘comedy first’ in everything you do. Every situation is about comedy. Every conversation is an opportunity to be funny. Nothing else matters!
What is this bloody philosophical mode you are in? What are you posting these days? Who cares? Who cares how many died? They are not your childhood friends. They are your fans. Know the difference! They are being sweet to you but they do not need to carry your burden. They need entertainment. Deliver what they love you for.
The life of a comedian is about writing jokes, observing the world, finding that unique angle, working with words, creating that punchline, getting on stage and getting that laugh! Period.
It is binary! Did you get the laugh or not? If Yes - you did your job! If not - you failed.
Your purpose is to make them laugh. Not to be a victim and seek their pity on the people you lost. You are going through trauma - deal with it! You lost close ones - very sad! Now where is that comedy set about death, funerals, grief and those f*cks whose kid you used to babysit and who didn’t send a message when your dad died?
Too soon? Too harsh?
Well, you chose this life. If you wanted pity, you could have stayed in corporate life and had a 101 with HR right now on your mental health going for a toss because of personal loss and how you need ‘me’ time! Boo-Fucking-Hoo!
You chose comedy - now deliver jokes!
Love
Me
Comedy is an extension of tragedy ~ Shakespeare (and the audience understands pain too, it's ok to close shop, people empathize, then move on or up) ..Such is Maaya.
