## Resource

Two broken wrists and two microphones! Comedian Adam Gabel (@AJGabel) joins for an impromptu show. Adam runs "Not Ripe Bananas" — a Tuesday night workout room at West Side Comedy Club that gives comedians a place to take risks, try new material, and place where comics can bomb with purpose. We get honest about joke failures, the open mic grind, crowd work as a crutch, the myth of "killing," and why creativity demands an audience that's willing to sit through imperfection. There's also a Rockville Centre roast, an Annette Funicello reference (!), and the most self-deprecating hospital story on the internet. If you've ever tried to create something new — comedy, music, a post, a life — this episode is for you.
