two abuse comedian
There's two types of hecklers. If someone says something really funny it's normally them heckling as part of the show. They're trying to add onto one of your jokes. If someone says something really funny, I've never seen a comedian abuse them, you always sort of tip your hat a little bit if they nail it.
differences people hard-life
Before doing stand-up, I thought acting was easy - it's not easy. It's a hard life. It's easy in its own way, you just stand there and talk. But there is a difference between people who can do it well and people who can't.
song sweet character
I definitely think the formula to making my character seem sweet is to let him act like a jerk, give him a redeeming moment, and have a sweet song playing over the background when it happens.
guy groups lots-of-friends
I've never been the type of guy that had a lot of friends or was part of the cool group.
religious believe thinking
I want to make people think, and I don't want to come across like I am egotistical or that I want to change people's thoughts. I don't believe that as a comic I can convert anyone's opinion. I think I can maybe make someone look in one direction or the other but I can't make a religious person stop believing in God.
drinking australia games
We have a drinking game in Australia, it's called drinking.
believe people religion
Here's the thing about people who believe in god... They're idiots.
book people comedian
In the stand-up comedy top, there's room for everyone - if you're good, there's room for everyone. You'll put on your own show - no one casts you. You cast your own show as a stand-up comedian. When you get good at stand-up comedy you book a theater and if people show up, people show up. If people don't show up, people don't show up. You don't have a director or a casting agent or anybody saying if you're good enough - the audience will decide.
christian believe kids
Christians are like a thirteen year old kid who still believes in Santa.
hate gay religion
If you hate gay marriage, then don't marry a gay person.
atheist dying scared
I'm not scared of dying, because I'm an atheist. I won't even know I'm dead. You know why? Because I'll be fùckin' dead.
funny children thinking
Do you think pandas know they're Chinese and they're taking the one child policy a bit too seriously?
cracking five four game hammer players teams
It was a cracking game of football, with two teams going hammer and tongs for 90 minutes. These players always keep going to the end and have done that four or five times already this season.

If you're going to win games like this, the perfectly good goals you score have to stand and you have to take your chances; we didn't today and got punished for it.
