If you could be your favorite animal, ...but had to lose a foot, would you still choose to be that animal?
Why or why not? Yes because white people take really good care of 3 legged dogs.
What’s a question you'd like me to answer as an interviewer?
Eden : Is it hard being a black comedian in Montana?
Will: It definitely has its moments. People come to laugh, and if you are going to be rowdy at any one comic, then you already made that choice before entering the event. That being said, there are moments where I have to make a conscious choice of what I plan to do set wise-because there are some parameters that need to be explained for the joke to come across the way I’d like it to.
What do you know about Dreyfest?
Nothing
What's the worst flavor you've experienced? How did you come about to tasting it?
I tasted bird poo once as a child. A bird pooed on my face.
