Why do comics traditionally stand in front of a brick wall to do standup?
I'm not sure I know what you're talking about.

Do you mean, why do they stand when doing stand-up? It's in the job description.

Or why do they traditionally stand in front of a wall? Well, buildings have walls. It's hard not to do stand-up in front of a wall unless you're performing under a circus tent. But even tents have tent walls.

If you're asking specifically about the bricks, well, I don't know that it's a tradition per se. I mean it's not as if this was a prerequisite or an archetype of what it meant to do comedy decades ago.

And it's not like really established comedians do it.

I shouldn't even answer this question. I mean it's just not a concept I'm familiar with.

Feel free to post your questions for Abbi in the comments section, to be answered in a later post, or write curlycomedy (at) yahoo.com with "Ask Abbi" in the Subject.

Oh great. Wait until I'm deathly ill before answering my question.
And now the post is buried. I'm not even going to put in any effort in a witty remark....
