Comedian Aries Spears opened up to VladTV about his reluctance to perform in Southern states, including Atlanta. While Spears expressed affection for Southern hospitality and culture, he cited a disconnect with the comedic sensibilities there. Spears explained that his quick-paced, high-brow humor doesn’t resonate as well in the South. According to Spears, the slower tempo of Southern life affects how audiences receive his wit and nuanced jokes. Spears, a New York native, prefers performing in cities with quick-witted, intellectually engaged crowds like those in the East Coast. He believes these audiences better appreciate the depth and complexity of his comedy.
