Gus Tate — Making it real makes it funny | Comedians on Campus #10

You'd be skeptical if a ghost recommended dying. But how is that different from a parent recommending having kids? Both went down an irreversible path, and are beckoning you to come over. Gus Tate is a rising star in the NYC standup scene, and superb at metaphors.
