Style
Hotz draws in audiences with his "confused yet very shrewd ways" and often improvisational comic style. He presents himself as someone who is challenged by everyday experiences, but able to draw the humour out of simple mishaps. He often begins a comedy piece with a statement of how miserable or upsetting a place or thing is: "I moved to LA, what a miserable place that is...". He is recognizable by his characteristic of using his right hand to stifle his own laughter whenever he delivers a punch line, stands in an odd posture or complains about everyday situations. Hotz also uses the audience members or city as a theme and often associates them with improvised jokes.
