Unhinged Post 1

for the crazies who signed up for top tier unhinged

Hello and thank you for subscribing to the top unhinged level.

I love being unhinged and being a comedian. When I first started doing comedy, it was at the same time in my life that I had this huge epiphany that I wanted to live my life authentically and sort of lean in to the parts of me I was ashamed of and was hiding from. Here’s the thing, I think there are many people who have a turning point in their lives where they go from living a life they were told to live to living a life they want to live. A huge hurdle in that is shame. The reason so many of us put off living our lives authentically was because we were ashamed of who we really were. Starting a comedy career at this time, was an immeasurable gift in resolving this shame for me, because whatever embarrassment I felt from being myself, I could turn into a joke.

I think a lot of artists relate to this sentiment, but, whatever happens in life, the art is god. So even the worst thing is pretty awesome if what you make from it is good.

For me that meant nothing was embarrassing anymore, because the more embarrassing it was, the funnier the joke was. Unfortunately, this sort of pushed me into become even more unhinged than I probably naturally would’ve been without being a comedian. What I’m trying to say is, I started acting fucking nuts just for the bit.

I’m not gonna lie, I think sometimes I take it too far.
