    While I do like jokes, even offensive ones, it often surprises me that so many American comedians seem to struggle with:

    • Knowing that their audience isn’t just people in the room with them
    • Understanding that at a mainstream level you can’t just cater to one crowd.

    I’ve always found Tony Hinchcliffe to be a strange comedian. Sometimes he’s funny, and some of the people on Kill Tony can be great (especially the guitar guy from a while ago), but many within the “Rogan Circle” just seem to struggle with going from small shitty bars in Texas a decade or two ago to owning podcasts with thousands of viewers.
