Taylor Tomlinson is on the show today, and she is one of the world's top comedians with multiple Netflix specials and a book called "Actually, Nevermind".

I love having stand-up comedians on the show because their creative process is so pure. No matter your writing style, you can learn from them. Like any writer, they observe the world, look for ideas, and write down good material. The difference is, they immediately perform and get instant feedback.

At the club, if a joke works, they refine and improve it. If it flops, they discard it completely, never mentioning it again. They understand that quantity leads to quality.

About the host Hey! I’m David Perell and I’m a writer, teacher, and podcaster. I believe writing online is one of the biggest opportunities in the world today. For the first time in human history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global audience. I seek to help as many people publish their writing online as possible.
