thinking laughing worst-times
If you can think of all the times in your life, some of the happiest times were probably when you were laughing. And some of the worst times in your life you were being laughed at.
dark light laughing
The classic comedian says there's nothing that's taboo; if you laugh at one thing you've got to laugh at everything, that comedy is taking people to dark areas and showing them the light.
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.
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.
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.
funny comedy vote
Women are like puzzles because prior to 1920 neither had the right to vote. Puzzles still don't.
car bullets newspapers
I've been doin' drive-bys all of my life. Except the bullets are newspapers, the car is my bike.
book pussy good-book
Is there anything better than pussy? Yeah, a really good book.
cancer drug tumors
Drugs kill, just like cancer. So don't smoke... tumors.
