Comedy Talk: Question for Lucas

Hey, Lucas. This past week, I’ve gotten a kick out of hanging out with you and getting to talk comedy. I figure maybe I can get some of your thoughts down onto the page (or screen), just in case you die soon, so that in 2019 some young comic stumbles upon this blog and reads this post and feels like in some can’t-be-proven-or-defined way, your essence lives on through the thoughts that you had and the words that gave them permanence in this world.

So here goes:

Do you owe the audience anything away from the stage? As a performer, is part of your responsibility to spend time preparing what you’re going to say, or at least developing your thoughts? If you just sit around during the day and do nothing, do you consider that short-changing your future audiences, akin to mailing in the performance live? Or is that irrelevant and your life off-stage is not directly related to your obligations as a performer?

Inert Sanctum.

Bryson has a terrible cough that has plagued him for the last few...well months...but it has really taken wings this past week. Animals get put down for less. 

Dear Bryson

I can imagine that being so close to death has taught you to appreciate the little things in life. In a world where you want be socially relevant and also find some form of existential peace, is remembering to enjoy yourself a liability?

Cordially,
Lucas Molandes

P.S. Stay away from the light.
