by many students. Never one to shy away from an argument, the comic tussled a bit with his hecklers. To some of the angry teens he said “I’m better than every instrumentalist, artist, no matter what art you do in this school, right now, I’m better than all of you. I’m sure that will change. I’m sure you’ll be household names soon.”runs 40 minutes, and includes stories from the 48-year-old's days at the D.C.
“These kids said everything about gender and this, that, and the other, but they didn’t say anything about art,” he sighed, referring to the previous encounter at Duke Ellington. Citing a worry about the flattening of nuance, he referred to the backlash about his trans jokes as similar to “reading a newspaper and it said, ‘Man shot in the face by a six-foot rabbit, expected to survive,’ and you say ‘Oh my God!’ but they never tell you it’s a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
