Comedian Nick Griffin is what they call a “road warrior” in the comedy business. “I’m out there doing the road 30 to 40 weeks a year,” he says, “just constantly writing new material and trying to get on TV like every other comic.” On stage these days, Griffin talks about maintaining a positive attitude. “I was talking to my dad recently and he was saying, ‘You have to work harder,’ and I thought, that’s old people’s favorite thing to say: They worked harder than us.” There’s
a reason for that, according to Griffin. “There
wasn’t anything else to do back then.”
