Why did Patrick S. Tomlinson give up on his standup comedy?

"He's not even a comedian!"
Yup. Never was. Never will be.

Because he can’t fudge ticket sales/crowd size like he tries to hide book sale numbers. A rascal would be at every show with a new live version of the Mewler Report

I would drive 2 hours every Friday possible to some shithole club in Milwaukee if we knew he started performing again. No question.

He has no ability to do what all comics have to do: separate the good jokes from the bad. Write bits and then test them in front of an audience. Sometimes you can rework the joke, but mostly you just have to let it die and keep writing.

He can't abandon any joke, because they're all brilliant, and if the audience doesn't laugh it's because they're wrong. Ho door. It's a Game of Thrones character and also the entrance to a brothel. Then like bizzaro Anthony, he'd go on an unfunny political rant as everyone checks their phone.

I bet that’s what he tells people when they ask why he doesn’t do stand up anymore, something about “the crowd isn’t ready” because he’s just TOO REAL, CHILD!
