What I try to do, what I attempt to do, is say things that I mean at least at an emotional level.
I drink iced coffee nearly every morning and many afternoons year-round.
When I started out doing comedy, I was still in college and was working day jobs. I taught preschool for a few years. And then I got more into freelance writing. So stand-up has always been my primary independent creative mode of expression. I've done it my whole adult and young adult life.
A vest, as a clothing item, always makes a statement, but depending on context, those declarations vary a great deal.
Given that I often wear shorts with a T-shirt, baseball cap, and backpack most days, a crew-neck shirt gives me the appearance of an undercover cop on the way to a sting operation at a summer camp.
A vest is just a totem reminding you that some people dress well, and you can be one of those people.
