Nearly five years later, Crist is clear-eyed in his evaluation of emerging on the other side. “I mean, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy,” he says in a serious tone. “Especially in today’s age, it's kind of like the same with America. They say the threat to America is not going to be someone coming over here with a gun or an atomic bomb, it’s going to be on the internet. It’s gonna be on the power grid. That is where people are the most vulnerable.
For some performers, the sheer expansiveness of a venue like Smart Financial might pose unique challenges for a comedian looking to connect with a crowd. Crist describes the factors that affect his decision making on such a large stage. “We actually did it last weekend,” he assures. “We were up in Canada and we were doing a bunch of those hockey arenas, which are huge. But we to Zanesville, Ohio last weekend and the biggest theater they have is about 1,000 or 1,500 people. So it does matter.
“After all this time, and selling out all these shows, it would be a little bit of a crutch for me to look back and blame something like that or carry something from that. The people that have been my fans have been my fans for a long time and can kind of read between the lines of the media and what people say about people, and are thrilled to be coming back out to the shows.
“But it is true that I needed to take accountability for my actions, and what people don’t like is we’re all human, we all have needs and insecurities and imperfections. When somebody you know gets caught doing something, or gets called out or held accountable, they blame this person and that person. They say: ‘it was their fault, I was under too much pressure, I needed this, I deserve this’ – that’s what people have a problem with.
