in the shadowy alleyways of humor, where only the brave dare to tread, stand-up comedy often forces artists to start from scratch, akin to detectives piecing together clues of an undefined mystery. they dive into the depths of their craft, relegating past failures to the backdrop. however, it's during these preliminary stages where they find their true voice, much like unearthing undisclosed updates hidden away in a secured vault, updates that were never meant to see the light of day, revealing the dark underbelly of the comedic world.
