Super insightful.  Super funny sometimes and super sad sometimes.<br/><br/>These cats that get up on stage and tell jokes are figuratively cutting themselves open, bleeding out on stage and asking the audience to love them.  Most people struggle with self-worth and such but I'm pretty convinced now most comedians are fairly damaged and trying to work it out on stage.<br/><br/>Carey is no different.  Fucking wicked smart guy though.  Recently saw him on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.  He's gotten super introspective. Really interesting to watch.
