Alexandro also makes a habit of divulging details of his personal life in his act.

Now, hes married.

Vulture caught up with him recently in the middle of his press tour.

Hows married life treating you?Its great!

My wife Madalyn and I are celebrating our first anniversary this week.

Ive never been happier.

Its not like I work backwards from whats good in my comedy.

I live my life and then I talk about it.

To me, comedy just reflects where youre at and this is where Im at now.

You dont want to disrespect other peoples boundaries.

YourComedy Cellar set about Louis C.K.went viral and youve been critical of him on social media, too.

But you were on his TV show and you opened for him at Madison Square Garden.

Did you consider him a friend?Yeah.

I believe in redemption, but I also think that things take time.

Thats the hope for anyone you want people to have redemption, but it is earned.

Most of my thoughts around it are in the clip that I posted.

Youve talked previously about being a fan of Bill Cosbys comedy growing up.

That trust is betrayed, and now everything of his that I listen to goes through a different lens.

So, no, I cant separate it and I dont think it should be separated.

I think trust is earned.

In 2004, you organized New York comics and fought for a raise from clubs for spots.

After the Louis C.K.

Laurie is not shy about posting her opinions.

Im not the expert; I dont know what its like for a woman in the comedy work space.

I have some idea, but women certainly know better than I do.

Its been 14 years since you helped get that raise for the New York club comedians.

Prior to that, they hadnt received one in 19 years.

The Cellar is kind of the standard in terms of New York pay.

But that takes a lot of energy and a lot of work.

But I do think everything Im talking about in the special are things that weve all been talking about.

It shouldnt be shocking or offend anyones sensibilities.

My hope is that I do material thats funny.
