The check spot is the most dreaded spot on a comedy show. It’s where the young act on the bill earns their keep. The audience doesn’t pay attention, the servers are loud, and one’s self esteem can get crushed. I talk about how important the checks were to my development and
Why I decided to record an album during them. In the end I discuss if that spot should even exist and if a comic should get paid to do them.
