In this culture, everybody is the star of their own solar system, even if you don't have any aspirations in 'show biz'. Everyone Twitters and/or has a Facebook page and/or website and/or has to make pitches and/or presentations in meetings. Even dating has become a lot like auditioning for love.

So what's your act? How do you shape your persona? If you were a constellation, what constellation would you be?

Most people like to think they're completely original, but almost everyone exists in context with other writers and/or performers who are already in the culture or who came before. This isn't about comparisons, or about one being better or worse. It's about locating yourself in the culture and in the various traditions of comedy.
