#standup

Until I started doing standup, there were some very bleak days. ↗

I will always love to perform standup comedy. ↗

I've skewered whites, blacks, Hispanics, Christians, Jews, Muslims, gays, straights, rednecks, addicts, the elderly, and my wife. As a standup comic, it is my job to make sure the majority of people laugh, and I believe that comedy is the last true form of free speech. ↗

I had never done a roast, but I really wanted to, because it's so different from standup. ↗

I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired. ↗

A weird sort of awareness set in, like, 'Wow. My standup isn't just separate from everything else I do anymore.' With Twitter and Face book, everything is universal that everything everybody says gets seen. ↗

I really never had any ambitions to be a standup comic. I was talked into it by guys that I used to work out with. ↗

Other kids would sneak out of the house to go to parties and do untoward things. I was sneaking out to do standup downtown. It paid off. ↗

If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie? ↗
