I Once Sat Next To Jim From

I Had Temping Jobs Also. I Liked The Flexibility. There Was No Asking For Time Off; You Just Didn't Work.

The Problem With A Lot Of Comedy Clubs Is Not That They Are A Comedy Club; It's Just The Cheesy Way They're Presenting Themselves. That's Why A Lot Of People Have A Problem With Them. If You're A Relatively Unknown Comedian, You Can Play At A Comedy Club, You Might Play To Hundreds Of People Every Night. But If You Try To Make A Concert Event Out Of It, And Try To Play A Rock Club Or Something, Where You Might Play To 10 People Or No People. And The Flipside Of That Is, That's Also A Great Thing, To Play To People Who Are Your Fans. Some People Are Too Hard On The Comedy Clubs.

I Think People Have This "it Can't Hurt To Ask" Mentality, Which Is True On Some Level. I Get Comics Like, "hey, Will You Look At These Videos Of Me On Myspace?" I Was Like, "well, Who's Gonna Benefit From That? What If I Don't Like You?" No, I'm Gonna Write To A Stranger And Say, "hi. You Like Me, And I Don't Like You. And Now I Feel Bad When I Didn't Need To Feel Bad, Because You Put Me On The Spot." Or Like, "can I Open For You?" Well, I've Never Seen You Work, So No. I Certainly Made Awkward Mistakes When I Was Starting Out, And They're Just Trying To Have A Career.

I Mean, I Guess I Started During The Comedy Boom, So It Was Literally Like, On Sunday You Could Decide You Wanted To Be A Comic, And On Monday, You Could Be On Stage

People Don't Understand That That's Really What It Is. They're Looking For A Magic Phone Number Or Something. And To A Certain Extent, I Understand That, Because Comedy Is Treated So Much As A Stepping Stone By A Lot Of People.
