Aisha Tyler quotes about
I'm just going to be the best version of me that I could possibly be and be as funny as I possibly can. I've just got to be myself and hopefully people will find me. And my audience did find me.
So much of a stand-up's life is doing live radio and having to be funny and quick on the spot with these strangers, and sort of surgical in terms of how funny I can be in three minutes.
I like grown up comedy.
I really do know football.
I'm black, and black don't crack. It does droop.
I am absolutely a Giants fan and I'm a Dynasty baby so I was a 49ers fan for a long time.
I'm sure I had low-level scurvy all of my childhood.

Maybe the nails are a little stubby and gnawed on, but I definitely do not have man hands.
On general principle, I boycott shows that don't employ actors.
I visualize myself winning the Olympic Pentathlon, inventing a phone that can be controlled by brain waves, or doing the laundry. I do not actually DO these things, but I see myself doing them, and that is almost MORE satisfying, because I am also lying down.
Omnipresence can be a good or bad thing, I suppose. I don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about it. I'm super-grateful.
I love Toronto. I love it. I love Toronto. I love Canada. I can't wait to get back. Can't wait to have some Timbits.
I can tell you this: Stand-up is not glamorous.
