Actus Diurna: Caesar’s Messiah

 



“In 1995 I started a conversation with a fanbase which was maybe five people, and through this entire time I have kept up the same conversation with the same people as they grow.  I’m letting you see me win, I’m letting you see me lose.  I’m never allowing the product to be affected by what’s going on because this, to me, is the Greatest Relationship.


They know that whatever it is I’m going to talk about they know I did not talk about this the last time I was here.  They know that.


Understand that this has its roots long before social-media.  Before social-media you might have heard that this is funny.  And somebody might have told you what they said But it didn’t sound that funny to you, they just repeated what they said.  


But then you finally see Him in person and he’s hilarious.  


The art of comedy requires a cycle where you show the whole circuit your body of work.  Unfortunately. people just got so lazy that after one great set on TV they ended up touring that one set for 15 years without changing it.  


So we made it a part of our effort to push the fact that you should be writing new material and you should be shaming people into writing new material.


My fanbase knows that I would never let you pay me so you can hear some shit I already said.  I respect you too much for that.  What you’re going to get from me is brand new.  This is new.”
