album mostly saw school steven
When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.
almost basically exciting experience jokes laugh people religious room special thousand time
Ultimately, jokes are this really special thing that we can all share. It's exciting to have basically a thousand people in a room together that can laugh at the same time, but I think of it almost as, like, a religious experience.
city comedians politics
There are comedians who focus on everything that is external. They focus on politics and the news, what's going on in that city and that night.
comedians moved nice
When I moved to New York, I was wide-eyed. I was nice to everyone, which comedians hate.
met saw
When I met my wife, I was a working comic, so the first week we went out, she saw me perform, and it was very clear what I do.
wandered
I was raised Catholic, and then I kind of wandered away somewhere in high-school. I never got confirmed, which is a big deal.
alienation
Alienation, I suppose, can't be hackneyed because it will always exist.
