The Perils of Being a Stand-Up Comic in 2022

In our polarized and highly sensitive culture, it isn't easy being in the comedy business. But guest Ian Abramson has weathered the storm with his rare brand of eclectic and experimental humor. Ian was the creator and star of 7 Minutes in Purgatory on Comedy Central. He also appeared numerous times on Conan. He talks about why he got into comedy, how he crafts his jokes, and what it's like being a comic at a time when comedians such as Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are attacked on stage, and an off-color joke might get you canceled.
