Hey, Bo! Firstly I want to say thank you so much for all of your hard work from the YouTube days up to today. I saw 'Words, Words, Words' when you toured and 'What.' a couple of days ago and I loved every minute of both!
Onto my question: Your work seems to challenge a lot of the traditional conventions of stand-up, with the inclusion of songs like 'Art is Dead', among others. Not only including these songs, but changing the tone of your shows seamlessly
I feel like 'What.' had a few more of those moments that made me stop and think about the material. Particularly 'From God's Perspective', 'We Think We Know You' and 'Left Brain, Right Brain'. Are songs/routines like these a conscious decision to play with the audience's expectations? Do you consider them an essential component to keep the audience thinking critically? Are they there to give the audience a better look at you as a person rather than your on stage persona? Am I over-thinking this?
