Summary

This quote suggests that stand-up comedy is like a row boat in terms of enjoyment. When someone willingly chooses to do stand-up comedy, it can be a fun and exciting experience. It is compared to a row boat because both activities can have a sense of romance and novelty about them. However, the quote also implies that if someone is forced into a row boat for survival purposes, the experience of being in the row boat becomes less enjoyable and loses its romantic appeal. Similarly, if someone feels compelled to perform stand-up comedy out of necessity rather than choice, it may not be as enjoyable or fulfilling.
