I’m getting older, there’s no escaping it. I’m not really old; my age is mid. My body, like my slang, lacks riz.
It’s a well worn trope of comedy, discussing where the hair has stopped growing and redirected to where it isn’t wanted or thought to be. (Like earlobes, what the actual fuck?) I started to go bald in my twenties, but I was always too self-conscious to talk about it on stage. But then a barber did something worse, and a bit was born.
This was recorded at Nevermind Comedy in July of 2025. For those who came out to see Kent Michael and Russell Hartup tell jokes, you might recognize the bit. The sound quality is always better live, so come out and see.
