kings fake talent
Poetic talent is really easy to fake when thy sentences doth no f-king sense make.
fun comedy enjoy
Postmodern comedy doesn't work well with very old audiences, because it's making fun of the comedy they enjoy.
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.
school high-school lost
I actually wrestled in high school. I was only in one match, and I lost... my virginity.
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.
thinking clubs littles
I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.
character play names
It's not most important to communicate myself on stage as it is to be as funny or interesting as I possibly can on stage. I feel more like I'm doing a play whose main character just happens to share my name.
ideas people answers
The strength of comedy is I don't have to answer to anybody but sometimes you want to learn from other people and see your ideas strengthen by other people.
laughing trying littles
I don't consciously try to make things difficult as much as I try to make them a little different. I like all kinds of laughs. I tried to make a show that elicit groans, guffaws, chuckles, boos.
