They say comedy is tragedy plus time. Well, in my case, it was tragedy plus excruciating pain, plus a lot of medical bills, plus time. In this clip from my one-hour stand-up show Sleightly Phunny, I talk about my delightful experience with a kidney stone—because if life is going to throw stones at you, the least you can do is make jokes about them.

This bit was part of my first full-hour comedy show, and let’s just say, if laughter is the best medicine, I definitely earned my medical degree that night. So, if you’ve ever had a kidney stone, or just enjoy watching someone else’s misery turned into comedy gold, this one’s for you! Watch, laugh, and let’s all collectively hope I never have to go through this again.
