George Civeris (@georgeciveris) is a stand-up comedian and writer based in Brooklyn.
He co-hosts a monthly comedy benefit show calledLiving for Itat the Living Gallery in Bushwick.
The next show is on Monday, November 19, and will benefit Lambda Legal.
This week, Civeris shared some of his favorite tweets with me and talked about writing jokes online.
Pls read my neoliberal novel, A Cog’s Purpose.
The joke here is that under neoliberalism, people are expected to find self-actualization through their work.
I have not seen it.
So now I think of Twitter as completely separate from stand-up.
I recently broke up with my boyfriend of six years and had to find a new place to live.
Getting 15 likes on this tweet made it all worth it.
I think promoting your podcast should be illegal.
And I think spreading positive vibes of any kind should be punishable by death.
It seems I have been no-platformed by this ATM.
Do you ever delete your tweets?
Why?I delete tweets all the time.
I would delete all of them if I could, but I need the money.
So disappointing to see folx turning their backs on queer elders like HRC Equality Award Winner Jeff Bezos.
(What an absolutely devastating sentence.)
I am also currently teaching an undergraduate class on comedy and journalism at the New School.
So I usually stick to politics, pop culture, and gay stuff.
About once a month I become unhinged and tweet something earnest about some political issue.
