Roy Wood Jr
Roy wood Jr: failure lab Detroit
Roy is a very successful comedian. He’s been a Daily Show correspondent, had a recurring role in Netflix and HBO series, and had two of the highest rated original specials on Comedy Central. However, in this humorous and heartfelt story, you hear about how the life of a young road comic can be ironically depressing at times.
After you watch the video, consider these questions:
Roy finds himself in a position where he’s weighing which type of failure is worse: financial or emotional. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’ve experienced both at the same time? If so, which was the harder one to face?
Roy uses some self-deprecating jokes to process some of his minor failings. Have you ever tried using humor to help cope or understand your failures?
