comedic geared specific strength subject tone written
It really was written and geared for a very specific audience, but our comedic strength trumps all of that. The subject matter, the dialogue, the tone isn't right for most of America.
comedic energy happening holds intense scene strong tried
The show had an intense comedic energy that you do not find on other shows. There's an intense comedic scene happening all the time, and that's the way we tried to make them, really packed, tight, strong ? and that just holds the audience.
guest home inviting tv
When you make a TV show, they always say you're a guest in someone's home. Online, you're a guest in someone's face. So that's why I try to make it sound and look and feel very inviting and attractive, because I know that I'm in your face.
disregard fallen total trap
We've fallen into a trap of ever-widening orbits of contact, and there is a total disregard for the present moment.
laughs
A lot of times, you could play me just the laughs from my set, and I could tell you, from the laugh, what the joke was. Because they match.
sportsman
I think of myself more as a sportsman than I do an artist.
craft love people seem suffer
I kind of thought that stand-up comedy would suffer from the Internet because people seem to know more about the craft of stand-up than ever before. I thought it would seem trite. Kind of like if you know more about magicians, you wouldn't love them.
humor
Nobody enjoys the 'little show about nothing' humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.
humorous phones wish
I wish I was a phone machine. I wish if I saw somebody on the street I didn't want to talk to I could just go, "Excuse me, I'm not here right now, If you just leave a message, I can walk away."
special ems want
I don't want to hear the specials. If they're so special, put 'em on the menu.
theater audience trapped
I prefer the old theaters because the audience is... trapped.
hotel-lobby people watches
I can walk through a hotel lobby and watch people at the desk and see what they're doing. People don't look at me. They don't even know I'm there.
laundry faster pta
You'll fold faster than Superman on laundry day
heads-up
Keep your head up in failure and your head down in success.
