i like Bill Burr's "Do shows with younger comics" point a lot:
“I also like a lot of the satellite rooms that the younger comics are running. Young comics keep you young. You’re still old, but you know how to act your age comedically around them, if that makes sense. If you perform to your generation only, you grow old with them. The comics that I loved growing up never stopped going to the gym, which is going down to the comedy club and getting in front of 20-somethings despite the fact you’re in your 50s like me, and learning how to get your 50-something-year-old ideas over to them.”
and his "Point the finger at yourself too" thought:
“As you get older, hopefully you realize that you’re bringing some of the problems to the table, and maybe the way you handle things isn’t the best way to do it."
dear matt,
