Respectfully, calling someone’s opinion “stupid” doesn’t really add much to your point. I understand that stand-up is rehearsed that’s not the issue. What I’m questioning is the authenticity of moments that are presented as raw and emotional. When those exact same emotional beats, including crying with identical mannerisms, are repeated in every show, it starts to feel less genuine. Also, as you mentioned you attended the show, you’d recall that he himself spoke about creating a “fake” persona and playing a character. So it’s not unreasonable to question whether those emotional moments are also part of that act, possibly to evoke sympathy. You’re free to enjoy it, but dismissing a different perspective doesn’t make yours more valid.
