And Joe went straight from his set of where he – you know, where he was headlining, right to the small room where he’s practicing material. So it was cool to see how the comics write, cause Joe just went to headlining a Polish set and then he went straight back to the small room where he’s just messing around, goofing off like working on new material.“
