I love his Frankenstein list. I hate watching my videos (I record every time) but when I post a clip on social media I watch them over n over again and that helps me remember the jokes

Exactly it's a grind we all have to do.

Seriously gotta get him on the show!

[@charrinacomedian]

It’s seems like CZcams is the best place to put a special, or is it the best place to post for free?

[@HotBreathPod]

Both really. You can get a lot of great exposure all for free (minus the production cost which can get steep)

genuine ask , how do we feel about another current school of thought. most armature/lesser known comics are creating specials hand over fist in hope of a lucrative steaming pay day. but the quality of 90% of them is truly not above the bar. It starts to feel like the rapid race to make a special dilutes the level of the content. its so far and few between these days you get to hear a comic say something new or profound , most specials feel like its an ego/finance based and not based in the art. if your last special only reaches 140k views its hard to say the audience has asked for another one a year later. Im all for every comic earning a living but so many of them are just diluting there potential legacy.

You bring up an interesting point for sure. I actually posted a poll on our Instagram asking if 2 specials in 7 years is too soon and the vast majority of people were in support of releasing so many so quickly.
The new school of thought is if you can create a special then do it. No need to wait for anyone else's approval.
So regardless of what is "right" or "wrong" the reality is we can now control our destiny which is exactly what Adam is doing. I''m super excited to capture this moment of his career. Onward and upward!
