Zitat des Tages von Todd Barry:
I love chicken. I would eat chicken fingers on Thanksgiving if it were socially acceptable.
I basically did comedy there for about a year, and then moved to New York. If I had it to do over again, I would have booked myself on the road for at least a year.
I used to write things out beforehand. But sometimes it backfires.
I'm particularly proud of my reluctance to share my dreams with anyone.
And the goal really is to make the audience laugh, to bring them some joy.
I liked the koala, wallaby, and I chilled with a kangaroo a bit. There was a wombat that I quite enjoyed also.
Some venues are better run than others. Sometimes it's just maddening to deal with full dinners being served in front of your face. You can have a good or bad show anywhere.
I would call it a comedy variety show. We have some people just doing straight standup. We usually try to have one musical act of sort. So its just people being funny in different ways, not just sketch, not just standup, not just characters, all of those things.
I once sat next to Jim from Wild Kingdom on a flight from Atlanta. I find mentioning that opens a lot of doors.
I am the the type to have a personal experience with a celebrity, but I'm too classy to bring that up.
Buddha, much like everyone else has good and bad days.
It was actually 3 years between albums. That seems like a long time to me.
I loved Australia. I was very successful there.
I mean, I've always had scattered interests, but I never went on stage to get an agent or anything like that.
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.
I had some friends that tried it down there, and I went to a couple of open mics, and I just kind of got this... this sick urge to try it instead of just watching it.
I don't really know much about pirates, or pirate culture. I'd be a contrarian pirate.
If I'm at a party and someone puts on a Blues Brothers tape, I tend to go nuts.
There seems to be more comedy for comedy's sake.
You come there and hang out and have a drink before the show and eat, so it's not that brutal. It's only $6.
I was probably just trying to be Dennis Miller, but without the vocabulary to actually be Dennis Miller. I guess I was just less interesting than I am now, if I am interesting at all.
I want to release another CD this year, finish writing a screenplay, and make another short film.
It's cool to go to a place that has posters up and it's one night only. It feels more special.
There's people that are just in awe of what you do, and then there are people who just think it's garbage. And I think there are people who are just uncomfortable seeing someone have fun with their job.
I don't feel I'm even worthy of a normal amount of value.
I've never been a TV junkie. I remember watching Letterman way back when he had a morning show.
I thought they may have presumed too much knowledge of certain things for people who are not comedians. Like Montreal. A comic understands what it is and its importance, but someone else may not know about it.
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.
I don't know any astronauts. There are a lot of people who say they want to be comedians.
Well, I have since seen you at Tinkle. It's a comedy show started by David Cross, me and Jon Benjamin. It features a wide variety of acts for all tastes and seasons.
I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be when I started.
Anyone who bombs is my friend.
Only lately, like within the last few years, have I had people actually do an impression of me to me, which weirds me out to think of what they have picked up on, without ever realizing it myself.
I mean, I've had bartenders and waiters and waitresses make a comment about a joke of mine, like pointing out some sort of logic error or something that I've never even thought about, and they're right.
I like pens. My writing is so amazing there's never a need to erase.
I'm traveling the world, ripping rooms apart with my stupendous comedy.
