funny joke method people time
Most people are used to the T.V. comedy method of one joke every 18 seconds. And that's why it's not funny... There's no time for anything to develop.
detailed stories
I'm a storyteller. I'm not like any other comic. I tell detailed stories - not made-up stuff, but true stories.
parish
Fortunately for me, or unfortunately, they made me an editor of the Parish Prison Pelican. I could read and write, and I had a way with words.
period time
I only have eight jokes, but I can do 'em over a two-hour period of time.
divert work
I have a routine I go through on the days that I work, and I don't want to divert from that.
movements stands ties wrap
Each piece I tell stands on its own, and then it all ties together. It segues from story to story, and then I wrap it up - like three-piece movements in a symphony.
famous love
I didn't get rich and famous, but I do what I love.
funny humor
I look at things logically. The humor I do is to go from A to B to C to D, and F is the funny.
