  • i'm actually in this very situation, you really helped me realize wat im going through, i'll learn to move on. thanks

  • I'm truly glad the video was helpful. Keep well.

  • Hey Ben, Thanks. I think I use comedy to mask shyness and self doubt- and laughter feeds me.

  • Hey Sandy. I think we all use comedy for many things. Sometimes I use it to express things I don't feel comfortable expressing other ways, ala John Cleese style anger fits. Other times I use it for the plain joy of it. Laughing, and making others laugh is fun, pure and simple. It can be used to deliver a message as well, as Del and I did in Damnitol®. To sneak something in under the radar, when a didactic approach would fall flat. BadTVdotCom is awfully good at that.
