Top kek and all, but seriously /lit/ why aren't you working part-time working a few shifts a week while concentrating on your reading and writing?

[Anonymous No.6528908]

because i've got 20+ hours a week I need to waste on the internet. No time.

[Anonymous No.6528913]

I do stand up, or use to until the only job I could find was on the night shift. I promised myself it'd be temporary, but fuck me if it ain't already been three months.

Anyway that said here's Stewart Lee, the best /lit/ comedian there ever was

Stewart Lee is an unfunny old man who appeals to leftist pseudointellectuals. He makes the tacit claims of intellectual superiority without ever justifying that claim. He is literal Belle and Sebastian-tier shit and only middle-aged urban media types and edgy teenage snowflakes like him.

I'm 27 so you fucked up.

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I don't understand the Stewart Lee hate, and people like yourself have forced me to acknowledge the reason I like him is in part because I agree with him so much, but it's this sort of hate that renews my affection for his comedy. Thanks on all counts

27 is middle-aged in 2015. You're doing stand-up (a dead industry) and cite Stewart Lee as a main influence? Top cuck mnine

Depends if you can get a reliable shift pattern.

It's true. With twitter, blogs etc people are achieving things, especially creatively, at a much younger age. Plus those over 25 aren't really a part of the "internet generation" as they're frame of reference is out of date.

He is absolutely right you.

Stewart Lee is a smug yuppie faggot who appeals to older smug yuppie faggots and little smug yuppies in training.

You are another one of them milquetoast pieces of shit who will never have good taste in comedy because you are too busy cringing and finding everything "distasteful".

Comedy fans like you are about as exciting to be around as a fucking miscarriage.

[Anonymous No.6530308]

Because I need a full-time job. My student loans, medical bills, rent, utilities, and groceries can't be covered by a few shifts a week.

But I don't work, my parents are sad, and people do judge me negatively.

Joke's on them though, because I'm writing the next great American novel.

No I don't lol

My only interest in art is to consume and critique

[Anonymous No.6530372]
