Lot Of Strip Clubs in Florida... Good grief... Florida has so many strip clubs, they need to change their state flag to a brass pole.
Whether you have a show or not, you can still be somewhere being funny.
Some government workers are dedicated and work hard, but most of them are just waiting to retire.
The president is on national TV apologizing for getting oral sex. Why didn't he just stick with his lie? You got to stick with your lie. If you lie, you have to believe that lie whole-heartedly. It has to become the truth for you. But this man, the most powerful man in the world, is on national TV apologizing for receiving oral sex. He's an idiot. There are men sitting in here right now who would gladly accept oral sex on national TV.
Good comics stick around. There are people who have TV shows that might be successful, but comics can't really fake it. If you say, 'Hey, I love what you guys are doing - you're funny,' then you're in. It's legit.
I think the most difficult thing about coming out is just getting to that place where you're comfortable with who you are and you're sayin' hey this is ok and just accepting yourself and not caring what other people think. Because if you don't have that confidence in who you are then, if things don't go the way you wish that they will, you know if people aren't accepting then they can easily tear you down if you're not prepared and comfortable with who you are.
It's not until you develop your own voice, your own persona onstage that you become your own comic, who you really are.
I enjoy stand-up because it has the biggest reward: instant gratification. You can hear the people laughing.
Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science.
It's easier to rip somebody to shreds while you're making them laugh.
Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. I hope his kidneys fail.
My worlds collide. When one things happens, it just starts a domino effect - everything else goes on.
What drives the creative person is that we see it all.
I'm always thinking of stuff; I just don't sit down and write it. I come up with material more as I go along; if something funny happens, I'll make a note of it on my phone.
