Todd Glass on Controlling One’s Environment

Todd Glass has been in the comedy game for a long time, dating
back to the eighties, so he’s had time to figure out how he wants
his life and his work to go. Todd makes sure the right music is
playing in the club as people come in, sees to it that no TVs are
on in the bar, and generally tries to make his world tidy. Does
this make him obsessive? Compulsive? Disordered? Well, Todd
doesn’t really go for the OCD label because he thinks it’s more
complicated and nuanced than that and because he’s a lot less
fussy than he used to be. In this interview, Todd Glass talks
about that as well as coming out of the closet at age 46.
