After becoming one of the original columnists on this very site, Steve Hofstetter went on to write online for Sports Illustrated, the New York Times, and the NHL (that's hockey). Now he is one of the most requested standup comedians on the college circuit and is most likely performing on a campus near you sometime within the next fifteen minutes.
His fourth comedy album comes out on March 17th. I talked to him about that, playing small towns, how CollegeHumor shaped his career, and the recession. Okay, I lied about the last one so read ahead with no fear of learning anything except what and who comedians do when they're off stage.
What do you think you would be doing if you weren't traveling the country telling jokes on stage?I'd probably have an office job - maybe I'd be a consultant or work in development. I'd have a wife and kids by now, live in a gorgeous house, and spend all my time looking out the window and wishing I were a comedian.
What's the worst city to perform in?This question sucks. Anywhere I say, I'll upset someone. I may as well tell people I hate babies or I beat the shit out of Rihanna. What, too soon? And by the way, Paterson, New Jersey.
