Authenticity in Comedy: Ben Shapiro, Wall Axes, and the Art of Unscripted Moments

I remember once I had this, like, whole bit where I talked about, like, Ben Shapiro and how bad this idea is, and then, like, on the spot, I was like, I’m gonna break a hole in my wall with an axe. I can just do that, right? No one’s gonna stop me. I just did it. And, like, I couldn’t have planned that. To an extent. A lot of, like, fully scripted material lacks that sort of authenticity. So I kind of. I almost wish I wrote things worse so that I had to, like, find it in the moment more than like, cause I was like, this is great, then I’m. I’m not gonna deviate from it too much. Luckily, everything I write is terrible, so. Yeah. And that’s like one of your most iconic moments? Yeah. Yeah, I was. I was like, people like that. That was like. I was truly losing my mind in that moment, like.
