fun comedy enjoy
Postmodern comedy doesn't work well with very old audiences, because it's making fun of the comedy they enjoy.
funny comedy vote
Women are like puzzles because prior to 1920 neither had the right to vote. Puzzles still don't.
people facts comedy
If comedy is about surprises, about tension, there's a lot of tension and surprise there, in the fact that people are expecting this to be natural.
comedian watches comedy
I'm friends with a lot of comedians, but we don't talk about material. Most comedians I know don't watch a lot of other comedy.
levels unexpected comedy
For me, if you distill comedy down, it is surprise and the unexpected. That has to be it on its most base level, in any form.
purpose strange comedy
Comedy is very strange to me and I don't fully understand it's purpose or function.
funny comedy puberty
When I tried to hit puberty I swung and I missed.
funny humor giants
I get more ass than a giant donkey stable.
funny humor kids
Ya back home they call me the tie-dye shirt kid, well that and fagot.
writing
I just like to write and then perform.
guy pirate creative
What's a pirate minus the ship? just a creative homeless guy
gun midget loaded
I'm a drunken midget with a loaded gun, a loaded gun.
simple trying stuff
I don't try to call myself a poet. But I know that my stuff is pretty literal, in that the themes are pretty simple and on the surface.
emotional challenges brain
Then the challenge is, once you left brain it and build it, then when you're on stage you have to know it so well that you can get lost in it. I don't want to be onstage looking like a robot, I want to be at the end of the day very emotional and what feels like someone being up there rather than reciting things. That's always the challenge, to analyze and then somehow lose yourself in something you absolutely know backwards and forwards. And nothing's going to surprise you, but you have to be surprised by it and let it surprise you.
