OverView

The deeper the truths, the deeper the laughs: it’s a truism that applies to most of the roster here at Stand Up! Records, especially so with David Heti’s new combined CD and DVD release, “It Was OK.” Not the set—the set is exceptional—but the experience of Heti’s life, of telling jokes he writes at 4am in a cloud of existential dread, well, that’s okay. Collective, social suffering and comedic catharsis? That’s okay, too.
