Favorite Piece of Advice

Start as soon as possible—comedy is about finding your voice, and the only way to improve is by writing, performing, and learning from each attempt. Be authentic, explore topics and styles, and focus on elevating your perspective rather than chasing low-hanging fruit. If a joke doesn’t land, don’t blame the audience—refine your writing or performance until the truth in your material connects.

How can I roast my dad in a funny way?

To roast someone, you need to be specific, you need to be nuanced, and you need to point something out that's true. Also, there's an important difference between roasting someone and bullying someone. If you're going to roast someone, you're not just going up there to hurt them; you're going up there to make light of something, or make fun of someone in a way that isn't attacking them.

If you're doing a roast for a crowd or audience, keep in mind that the audience is like a living, breathing organism. You have to make sure they don't feel sad for you or the person you're making the joke about. I think the better roasts are ones that have to do with specific personality traits or historical references to the person. Finally, I think it's important to note that with roasts or with crowd work in general, you need the audience to be aware of what it is you're talking about so we're all in on the joke. The reason good crowd work hits so hard when an audience member is being roasted, if we can all see that audience member and we can all hear what that audience member is saying. Suddenly, we're all in on the joke versus traditional stand up, where you have to lay the foundations of your perspective.
