On today’s show things alternate between political and politically incorrect as Dave compares his experiences in America and England.

David Fulton (@Fulton_Dave), in his own words, “Started comedy back when it was popular and profitable. Decided to stay on past the point of when it wasn’t. It’s the desire to say something original combined with the fear of a civilian day job that perpetuates the illusion of forward progress. The trick is to find the balance point between any financial burdens incurred and the even weightier responsibility of originality. It appears the placement of this fulcrum has come to be the most important decision.”
