I particularly like her points about the necessity of diversity to form neighborhoods and cities.

All of that Six Degrees nonsense. I’m more intrigued at how incestual comedy circles seem to be.

An example,
Go listen to Doug Benson on the Comedy and Everything Else Podcast.
Or maybe go listen to Todd Glass on Comedy Death Ray Radio
Or why not just listen to Scott Aukerman on Doug Benson’s I Love Movies

Ok, enough is enough, plus there is the great Dead-From Stand Up Database.

So here’s my idea. Work on a visualization to group comedians and writers by their affiliations.
I think it would be fascinating to see all of the data laid out and see who actually knows who.

For example, as a start:
