.

Stephen dives deep into the age-old debate: can you separate art from the artist? 🎨🤔🤷‍♂️ He gets real about burnout 🔥💤, feeling like a “punk” comedian 🎸🤘 in a room full of “indie” comics 🎤🎧, and his desire to pursue other projects ✍️📚 and write new material ✨📝 instead of just showing up at open mics without purpose.
