This topic is about a man in his 70s who lives in The Villages, Central Florida, and uses stand-up comedy to navigate life with an ostomy bag. Having spent 15 years performing on the Southern California stand-up circuit, he now uses his storytelling humor to connect with others, especially women, and share his experiences as a "bag man."

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Humor and the ability to laugh at oneself are powerful tools for coping with the challenges of living with an ostomy.

2. Joking about the everyday realities, like dealing with "crap," can help prevent discouragement and keep spirits high.

3. His comedy act focuses on longer, story-based bits rather than quick one-liners, drawing from his experiences performing in major Southern California comedy clubs alongside well-known comedians.
