Laughter is mysterious. laughter is such an invol-untary response, it's unpredictable. You just don't know what will make you laugh until it makes you laugh. Talking about laughter is tough, and I should warn everyone who reads this that I don't really know what I'm talking about. I'm 31 years old, and I've been doing stand-up since I was 14, and I'm still trying to figure it all out. Stand-up has unequivocally been the most consistently fun thing I've done in my life. It's what makes me happy. I like doing my show, but stand-up has the most freedom in it artistically. It's direct-there are no intermediaries between you and the audience. I don't have to go to Standards and Practices [the broadcast industry's self-censoring panel] to clear my material. I don't have to worry about advertisers and what they'll say. I just tell people jokes off the top of my head.
