Off The Cane

Chelse Greaux

Comedy Dynamics · 2023 · 46 min

Observational stand-up about corporate layoffs, recovering from surgery, and dating.

Released , on Comedy Dynamics.

Greaux gauges impending corporate doom by the quality of the office food spread: when the break room shifts from stale ramen to high-end food trucks, the severance packages are already printed. That skepticism anchors the hour, where she treats workplace survival and personal setbacks with the wariness of someone who spent years grinding through open mics after arriving in Los Angeles with $350.

Self-directed and released through Comedy Dynamics in 2023, the 46-minute set takes its title from the cane she used after undergoing surgery for a severe injury. She avoids inspirational framing entirely, moving between physical vulnerability, bad dates, and the sudden realization that an HR director learning your name is never good news.
