Christina Pazsitzky: That it’s easy. Everyone thinks they can be a comedian but they don’t know there’s a vast difference between telling a joke to your buddies and getting onstage in front of a ton of people. It’s a skill like any other. Just like a carpenter, it takes years to hone your craft and get good. For some reason, people feel challenged and threatened by what we do. That’s why they yell out and heckle during a show. Yet they wouldn’t yell out at a theater performance. Why? Because they feel they can do what you do as a comic — and they’re usually hammered.
