When couples doing comedy together clash over different performance styles

My partner and I have been doing stand-up together for three years but lately our different comedy styles feel like they're pulling us apart instead of bringing us together — I lean into observational humor while they go for shock value and we can't figure out how to blend our approaches without one of us feeling like we're compromising our authentic voice.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very thing that brought you together creatively is now exposing fundamental differences in how you see humor and authenticity.
