Filmed at the renowned Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY, this hour of standup is an act of defiance against responsibility. The special pays tribute to all the things we think but don't say, letting us in on why we talk to people we don't like, why you shouldn't live with your spouse, and why walking around your apartment naked eating Chinese food is the true meaning of life.
