I will admit that sometimes I RT compliments I get, but it doesn't happen very often. The time it happened the most was when a friend of mine released a video I was involved in.. I did it probably 5 times and then stopped responding and such once I saw that it was becoming a flood of compliments. Usually I just RT a new link someone posted about me or an announcement for an upcoming show I'm involved in.

"Let your skill as a comedian do your networking for you." I couldn't agree more. Everyone's glad to make new friends, but you have to have something to offer if they're going to do business with you. Fortunately, Sean has a lot to offer!

Great interview as always. I agree that the stand-up scene here is very supportive. People will go out of their way to help you out as long as you are making reasonable requests and putting in plenty of effort on your own. And for the most part, the more people get to know someone and see that they're a soldier who's in it for the long haul, the more they tend to respect that person.

To people criticizing Sean for not interviewing Kumail and others about the situation, this article is called "EXCLUSIVE: John Mayer talks about learning a tough lesson about stand-up comedy", not "Here are various people's thoughts on what happened." I don't feel Sean is trying to defend John.. He's simply giving John a chance to describe the situation in his own words. It's a double-edged sword. For instance, when he says,"I don't know how to do it yet. I don't know how to bomb," then that's a good admission of his weakness. Any comedian who has performed has bombed, and anyone who's bombed knows that it's the worst feeling in the world, and you are in a very sensitive and raw space where you momentarily hate your life. That being said, John didn't exactly bomb. He didn't kill, but I think he was a lot harder on himself than he needed to be. He felt he was bombing because he talked about how much he was bombing throughout his set. If he had just hit us with jokes instead of continually putting himself down, people who've most likely enjoyed his set much better, and he wouldn't have felt it was such a bomb. Every comedian bombs, and the more experienced ones get over themselves and don't stress out over it so much.. It's just like dating; sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. But ultimately you need to learn from it and be able to move on quickly. This quote does him a disservice: "It was combative in the sense that the crowd didn't really accept the fact that the jock, the guy who gets the girls, was at a place where the guys go who talk about how they don't get the girls." That's just silly because there are plenty of comedians who are rich, handsome and successful. Not every comedian tells self-deprecating stories (although most do). The point is that he was simply inexperienced and not as funny as the other comedians. It's not as though he was telling funny jokes but the audience was refusing to laugh simply because he was famous and has had lots of sex with hot women. Audiences don't care much about a comedian's personal history. They mainly care about their jokes and delivery.
