And I love Dad jokes and groan-inducing puns. Jeselnik, who performs next week in San Diego, said that when he was a kid, his parents bought a gun so they could protect their five children. The thing about Jeselnik — and most comedians — is their jokes are best heard in their own voice. Each has his or her own style of delivery.
