Global queer comics. And I will say I am like such a small part of that tapestry that the documentary is so cool because it really shows you, like people whose name who should be household names, who were actually trailblazing and breaking down barriers and stuff like that. So I could go out on stage and talk about Dixon and stuff like that without losing my career.

We part of the documentary is we did a huge show at the Hollywood Bowl. There were like thirty comics of like truly every generation there and it's great because I think, like, especially when I was coming up, there would always be like maybe one queer comic on the lineup and that was it. That would be like, that's that's too much as it all, and so we rarely got to like hang out on the same show, and so it was really nice. It was like a nice little like homecoming to just all be together on the same show backstage on stage.

There's a shorthand and you know, and just for a record, I mean that you know, the comics were in that documentary while on that show. So the documentary is about this big show they did at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, And some of those comics are my heroes too, you know. I'm Wanda Sykes was always super cool to me.

Yeah, one day, maybe I'll be lucky to meet her in person. And that was also the Hannah Gasby was in that Australia zone and I think that was who. I mean, we could go on all that Margaret show, who like talk about Trail Lazer like she is the reason I do what I do now today, like bar Nune, Like she was the I said in the clip, like I wanted to talk about the stuff that people wanted to keep behind the curtain, and she was doing that at a time when it was actually risky to do that, you know. And so yeah, she she really is the person who opened the door for me.

Yeah.

I feel like like comics we always like like to tip of the cap to the I don't know, we just always like heritage, you know, like our comedy heroes, like we almost I don't know about you, but I almost feel more beholden to them than than the audience in some ways, like I just want to you.

I feel like like comics we always like like to tip of the cap to the I don't know, we just always like heritage, you know, like our comedy heroes, like we almost I don't know about you, but I almost feel more beholden to them than than the audience in some ways, like I just want to you.

Know, right, No, it's so funny, like I could be crushing in a room, but like I'm paying attention to the people standing at the back of the room, who I'm like, oh my god, Ronnie seeing this joke five thousand times like.

Know, right, No, it's so funny, like I could be crushing in a room, but like I'm paying attention to the people standing at the back of the room, who I'm like, oh my god, Ronnie seeing this joke five thousand times like.

That doesn't SOSSND Like, guys, I'm.

That doesn't SOSSND Like, guys, I'm.

Not going on to people showing going like hey, here's my advice from.

Not going on to people showing going like hey, here's my advice from.

It wasn't Sun. It wasn't so much advice.

It wasn't Sun. It wasn't so much advice.

I think I was probably complaining and being like, oh, I'm I'm I'm always getting told like what to say and what not to say. And I think for you, your reaction to that as a as a comic was just like it doesn't matter, like the subject matter. It doesn't matter, you know, if you're gay, straight, by whatever it is. At the end of the day, if you're funny, you're funny. That's why, like, I still do stand up because it's the it's the closest thing to a meritocracy in our industry because like with all the politics and everything of people saying like, oh I only got here because I'm a diversity high or whatever.

I think I was probably complaining and being like, oh, I'm I'm I'm always getting told like what to say and what not to say. And I think for you, your reaction to that as a as a comic was just like it doesn't matter, like the subject matter. It doesn't matter, you know, if you're gay, straight, by whatever it is. At the end of the day, if you're funny, you're funny. That's why, like, I still do stand up because it's the it's the closest thing to a meritocracy in our industry because like with all the politics and everything of people saying like, oh I only got here because I'm a diversity high or whatever.

When I'm not on stage, that's my whole career. Yeah, that's my whole career.

When I'm not on stage, that's my whole career. Yeah, that's my whole career.

But when we're out on stage and people are either laughing or they're not laughing, you can't.

But when we're out on stage and people are either laughing or they're not laughing, you can't.

Take the funk. Yeah, you don't laugh because of woke guys. Okay, that's not how it works.

Take the funk. Yeah, you don't laugh because of woke guys. Okay, that's not how it works.

Like It's just like, no matter how progressive you want to seem, if the joke isn't funny, then you're not laughing. And that's why like stand up feels so good because I like, nobody can tell me shit because these people are laughing, you.

Like It's just like, no matter how progressive you want to seem, if the joke isn't funny, then you're not laughing. And that's why like stand up feels so good because I like, nobody can tell me shit because these people are laughing, you.

Know, yes, And so for yeah, I agree, totally agree, and for all its flaws, stand up is the meritocracy. And you know, I think sometimes it's hot to explain comedy to people. I mean, I quote you in a recent Esquot audicle. Oh no, sorry, Hollywood reported audicle. I read all your press repressed. You said, like, the mission can't come first. It has to be comedy first. Yeah, right, and sometimes it's hot to explain that to people. And so that's why what did you find it difficult in this documentary to talk about comedy versus you know, just doing it?

Know, yes, And so for yeah, I agree, totally agree, and for all its flaws, stand up is the meritocracy. And you know, I think sometimes it's hot to explain comedy to people. I mean, I quote you in a recent Esquot audicle. Oh no, sorry, Hollywood reported audicle. I read all your press repressed. You said, like, the mission can't come first. It has to be comedy first. Yeah, right, and sometimes it's hot to explain that to people. And so that's why what did you find it difficult in this documentary to talk about comedy versus you know, just doing it?

Well, No, because like when you're in a doc and you're sitting behind the camera and you're being interviewed like that, it's not comedy. But like I think the biggest pep beeve and the thing is is like people of all political stripes, across the political spectrum do this when a stand up show turns into a ted talk I'm out, you know, like I do, Like where are the jokes? You know, Like you can't just come out and say an opinion and expect applause and sometimes you get it, but it's it's applause is not laughter, you know, So you can't be mission for you always have to be thinking at the end of the day, is it funny?

Well, No, because like when you're in a doc and you're sitting behind the camera and you're being interviewed like that, it's not comedy. But like I think the biggest pep beeve and the thing is is like people of all political stripes, across the political spectrum do this when a stand up show turns into a ted talk I'm out, you know, like I do, Like where are the jokes? You know, Like you can't just come out and say an opinion and expect applause and sometimes you get it, but it's it's applause is not laughter, you know, So you can't be mission for you always have to be thinking at the end of the day, is it funny?

Yes?

Yes?

I think yeah, No, I no, I agree completely, and you know, and that's I think that's also how I feel so much kinship with you, not just the not just the Asians on whatever, but like as comedians, you know, because sometimes it's we're both out there and we're both trying to make it happen in weird bas and like in New York City, and oftentimes, you know, I never really play this cod a lot, but oftentimes on the lineup, and there's no other Asians on that lineup, you know, and it doesn't you just gotta because I.

I think yeah, No, I no, I agree completely, and you know, and that's I think that's also how I feel so much kinship with you, not just the not just the Asians on whatever, but like as comedians, you know, because sometimes it's we're both out there and we're both trying to make it happen in weird bas and like in New York City, and oftentimes, you know, I never really play this cod a lot, but oftentimes on the lineup, and there's no other Asians on that lineup, you know, and it doesn't you just gotta because I.

Think there's this weird assumption that because we take some of the same demographic checkboxes that all of material will be the same. But it's like you and I will never.

When you could take something that's not supposed to be something funny, something that is painful, something that look at our news, look with the daily shows every day, you take something that is tragic with politics, and you go clean it's funny about it.

When you could take something that's not supposed to be something funny, something that is painful, something that look at our news, look with the daily shows every day, you take something that is tragic with politics, and you go clean it's funny about it.

That's very ye, that's a very noble pursuit. And yeah, because I'm I'm a I'm an aspiring comic myself, and I just wonder, I just wonder, like when you do comedy specials, you know, you've you've been in this industry for so long now, you know you've seen so many. You know, you've got decades, if not centuries on me in life, and and you know, and you're just so old you don't look at but you've seen so many. You know, you've seen streaming services, you've seen cable TV, you've seen.

Specials, seen cell phones, you've.

Seen when they had to do the shadow. I'm so tad of you young bitches. All you got his years on me.

Seen when they had to do the shadow. I'm so tad of you young bitches. All you got his years on me.

But like you've see some specials, and I guess, like my question is, like, when you feel a young comic was coming to you asking you about comedy specials, is that something you would tell them what not to do with a comedy special? You know how long A.

But like you've see some specials, and I guess, like my question is, like, when you feel a young comic was coming to you asking you about comedy specials, is that something you would tell them what not to do with a comedy special? You know how long A.

Wait until you have like enough time under your belt that you understand your point of view.

It's only special.

It's only special.

I think when you start digging into pain and it's okay to drop one or two, but then three, four, five, and six and you as you go down the road, I think it's more important. Not because comedians want to talk about the world. They want to talk about sports, they want to talk.

I think when you start digging into pain and it's okay to drop one or two, but then three, four, five, and six and you as you go down the road, I think it's more important. Not because comedians want to talk about the world. They want to talk about sports, they want to talk.

About pop culture, they want to talk about politics.

About pop culture, they want to talk about politics.

I think the best comedians talk about themselves and talk about their pain, and they go, what's funny about this? And they're vulnerable, and I think that's more healing and funnier and lasts long longer than anything that is in pop culture and yeah.

I think the best comedians talk about themselves and talk about their pain, and they go, what's funny about this? And they're vulnerable, and I think that's more healing and funnier and lasts long longer than anything that is in pop culture and yeah.

Yeah, no, that's that's that's why it once it's almost like you you get to a place of comedy that you get so good at comedy you can talk about pain now instead of just trying to.

Yeah, no, that's that's that's why it once it's almost like you you get to a place of comedy that you get so good at comedy you can talk about pain now instead of just trying to.

Because it's more therapy, right, It's deeper than just a bunch of jokes.

Because it's more therapy, right, It's deeper than just a bunch of jokes.

It's easy to tell jokes for.

It's easy to tell jokes for.

Like sixty minutes, but it's hard to have a sixty minute therapy session that hasn't alixa for the audience to come away and go, wow, that really helped my life.

It's one thing to change their mood. That's what we do in comedy.

But if you give them a little nugget that helps change their life and you know, help them stay out of two hundred fifty dollars therapy sessions like I.

But if you give them a little nugget that helps change their life and you know, help them stay out of two hundred fifty dollars therapy sessions like I.

Did, then then you did something all right.

Did, then then you did something all right.

And I mean in your special you kind of joke about celebrities, and we you know, I also joke about celebrities. But I think the difference between you and me is that you're a famous enough to actually know these people. So when you kind of basically I don't want to butcher the joke, but when you when you talk about Shack and you're shitting on shack. You got to go to this guy's birthday party afterwards.
