family-and-friends shows my-friends
My friends and family always thought I was pretty funny, but I don't know if they thought I was get-my-own-show funny.
found force ifs
I found, especially with stand-up, that if a premise works, you can make the joke work. If a premise doesn't work, you can't force it to.
trying want comedy
Whether it's corporate investigations or comedy, there are certain inherent truths to trying to get what you want while trying to be a decent person doing it.
otters sea lions
I like an otter. I like a sea lion. I like a walrus. That's my favorite version of a sea creature.
pet elsewhere
It's always weird to eat something that is a pet elsewhere.
boys thinking ironic
My first concert isn't that cool or ironic. I wish it had been like, "My first concert was the Backstreet Boys," but the first concert I went to, I think, was this band called The Samples.
college thinking years
You think you're going to be on TV a year out of college and you're not. Then you tell people and it's embarrassing. And then it's not a big deal at all.
cities kansas-city together
Robert Altman made that movie Kansas City about the jazz scene in the city, and we saw that band all together, and that was an amazing show. That's what I got into. I like jazz.
goal special something-new
For me, the goal wasn't to turn the stand-up special on its head, but to do what I do specifically, and hopefully that reads as something new.
ideas numbers people
I like the idea of people getting to know you from different angles and then realizing "That guy is also that guy!" "Oh, he does that!" I really like having a number of different ways to reach people.
goal special stuff
My goal was to do something that incorporated all the stuff I do and have it feel like something new, like it was hopefully taking the stand-up special paradigm and turning it on its head.
lucky way different
I feel like we have so many different ways to express ourselves now, and I relish, I feel very lucky to be doing comedy.
comedian
Although I'm a comedian, I'm also an amateur survivalist.
sacred wikipedia internet
I guess there should be somewhere on the Internet that feels like a source of sacred truth. But Wikipedia sure isn't it.
