Comedian @JoshJohnsonComedy sits down with Mashable's Mark Stetson on "Say More" to talk about his upcoming HBO original comedy special, "Symphony."
Josh reveals the frantic 4-day stretch where he filmed his HBO special, wrote and performed a completely new stand-up set (The Afroman Trial Explained: Cops vs Hip Hop - and then hosted The Daily Show.
He also explains his rapid-fire approach to releasing a new special every week on YouTube, why he believes great comedy needs to focus on universal "systems" rather than temporary topical jokes, and why he'll always consider himself a writer and an artist first.
