Deon Cole reflected on his early days in stand-up, specifically when he opened for Steve Harvey in Chicago. As a fledgling comedian, he was allowed to perform five-minute sets before Harvey's shows. Cole reminisced about the experience, noting the mandated dress code of wearing a suit. Despite obeying the rule with a less-than-flattering thrift store outfit, Cole felt uncomfortable, believing the suit didn't truly represent his identity. This experience fueled his determination to remain authentic, even when pressured to conform.
