The best interview subjects and the best comedians share a common
thread: brutal honesty. There’s a sense that nothing is off-limits in
pursuit of the perfect joke or honest answer. Jason Nash, to his credit,
is nothing if not honest — often times brutally so. About his career,
about his life and, most frequently, about his marriage. In
fact, the comedian recently released a movie on the subject — the
fittingly straightforwardly named Jason Nash is Married. “The secret to a
great marriage is very simple,” Nash sums the whole business up in a
voice over at the end of the film’s trailer. “One person eats shit and
the other person soars like a bird feeding off the lost dreams of the
first person.” Nash and I sat down at the Sidewalk Cafe in
Manhattan while the comedian was in the city promoting the film’s video
on demand release. And just as one would expect, things got really real.
