Roy Wood Jr. The comedian on his new stand-up special, the importance of working in food service, and learning from Keanu Reeves

8 QUESTIONS WITH Roy Wood Jr.

- —ANDREW R. CHOW

Why is your new comedy special on Hulu called Lonely Flowers? A group of flowers together is beautiful. But if you ever see a flower growing by itself, you go, Oh, what happened? As a society, we all somehow turned into a bunch of lonely flowers. A lot of the places we used to be connected were at stores, in lines, in conversations with cashiers. And that's been replaced by touchscreens, automated ordering, DoorDashing.
