I Mean, Yeah, I Want To Lose

Look, You Know, You Can't Please Everybody. I'm A Stand-up Comic. I Know That. It Doesn't Matter How Funny You Are And How Well You Do, There's Two People That Are Going To Walk Out Of There Hating You.

Stand-up Will Always Come First. I've Been Doing It For 22 Years, And Nothing Compares To That Connection You Have With The Audience. It's Euphoric.

You Need A Wisecracking Buddy Standing Next To You? That's The Role For Me. You Got The Guys Who Are Knock-down, Drag-out Handsome. That's What People Want To See. Let That Guy Be The Hero. But There's Always A Role For The Everyman.

You Start Realizing That Maybe You're The One Night A Month That People Have Out, And They Don't Need To Hear Your Political Views Or How Dark You Can Get. They Just Want To Laugh For An Hour And Go Home. Once I Wrapped My Head Around That, My Act Evolved Accordingly.

The Quickest Way To Defuse Fear Or Insecurity Or Anger Is Usually Humor. I Think Comics Figure That Out Quickly, And, Once You Figure It Out, You Think, 'hey, If I Can Do This And Get Paid, That Would Be Kind Of Cool.
