'We are complex people,' comedian Andrew Santino says, 'sometimes we’re not given room to be vulnerable and emotional in real life. They just want you to always be a comedian, and the criticism that entertainers face sometimes is stupid and hypocritical.'
“You have to recognize you’re as much a part of this as we are,” he says to the audience. “You’re responsible, too.”
When did you come up with the idea to do a major fourth wall break in the middle of the special, where you introduce this concept of the cheeseburger? In the special, I speak very candidly about the idea that there is this fake narrative where people are like, “Comedians can’t say anything anymore!” That’s not true. You can say whatever you want. There’s repercussions to some of your language, obviously. But I’m never afraid of saying something because it’s a joke. I get paid to joke around. So if you’re gonna give me money to make fun of stuff, don’t be shocked when I say something that’s off-kilter or weird.
Audiences are free to respond how they feel about the material. I’m not putting the onus on the audience – I’m saying you’re a part of it as much as I’m a part of it. Comedy is a shared experience. Your preconceived notions of the world construct how you receive things – your race, your gender, your age, your socioeconomic status. All of that you bring to the comedy show. I’m leading the horse to water and showing them what they’re drinking. I’m giving you the material, but you’re building it.
