Let me start off by saying that I first discovered you when schmoyoho favorited Words Words Words -- I loved it! I thought you were hilarious, the video was awesome, the lyrics were witty as well as fast-paced, and the entire thing was very well put together.
Watching your stand-up, however, is a completely different thing. I know that this sounds like a terrible thing to say, and I understand that stand-up is much harder than it looks, but I feel like your comedy does much better in music-video form and distributed over the internet, rather than live. Over the internet you can read along with lyrics, rewind to listen over to a favorite segment, and videos are often entertaining enough to watch multiple times. When I watch your show live you talk too fast, a lot of words are missed as people are laughing and not listening, and the fast-paced nature of it doesn't allow time for the classic pause that gives the audience the space to laugh.
Understand that I am a fan, and if I were in your shoes I would definitely be doing stand-up because I could, but I suppose the question is: Do you think that your style of comedy comes off better in Video/Album form rather than live stand-up comedy?
