Stand up comedy is hard. It takes years and years of trial and error, endless hours of joke writing, refining your material at clubs and bars, and spending your life on the road driving back and forth all over the place. All that, just to find the absolute best jokes and funniest way to deliver them. The people you are about to watch… did none of that. They are a "Comedy Trainwreck".
