Steve Agee - Voice | Modern Comedian - Episode 11

You may have seen Steve Agee on The Sarah Silverman Program but he is also a very funny stand-up. Like many comedians, Steve hated his material in those early years until some advice from fellow comic Janeane Garofalo helped him to drop some old habits and find his voice in comedy. In this episode Steve demonstrates his new style by telling a very embarrassing story on stage for the first time.

A NOTE FROM PBS DIGITAL STUDIOS: Comedy, in addition to being funny, can serve as social critique. The series Modern Comedian paints vivid portraits of the lives of comics and their creative processes, while also hinting at broader sociological themes. In order to document those comics both honestly and authentically, it includes strong language and some adult themes. Viewer discretion is advised.

Apparently Janeane is a very giving person and in a private way has had a big influence.

I love this series. I hope to watch this when I come back home from school, so tempted to watch it now but it'll have to wait. Thanks man for taking your time out and uploading these extremely interesting videos. Thanks

I LOVE him on Sarah Silverman. Really interesting to see how people find (or how they credit finding) their creative voice.
