text:  Now I have to do three or four phone calls before the gig because I have to talk to HR and they have to say nothing homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, blah, blah, blah. And there's this laundry list of what you can't do. So by the time they get to the gig, all I can do is self-deprecating humor. All I can make fun of is me because they've eliminated everything else. But corporate gigs pay the best, so I, of course, bend over backwards to do whatever they ask me to do.
