   Ep.3 Comedy as an Anxiety

   Having established the comedy in his life, James now turns focus to his work, or lack thereof. A stranger's compliment encourages doubt, and he begins to question both the integrity of his practise, and the importance of a garlic and herb dip on a bad day. But to what extent can James actively take control of his own misfortune?
