funny humor giants
I get more ass than a giant donkey stable.
funny humor kids
Ya back home they call me the tie-dye shirt kid, well that and fagot.
school high-school lost
I actually wrestled in high school. I was only in one match, and I lost... my virginity.
real giving people
People give me money and I don't know why, my real collection plate is an empty cup held by a homeless guy.
writing
I just like to write and then perform.
fall miscarriage men
I know it's the comedian's instinct to say, "Do it, man, nothing's off-limits! It's cool, bro!" I don't know if that's the answer for me. "Do I really want to make a joke about a miscarriage when a woman in the audience might have had one?" I don't worship comedy; at the end of the day I don't fall to the altar of comedy unquestioningly.
guy pirate creative
What's a pirate minus the ship? just a creative homeless guy
thinking worry people
I think comedy has a range, with multiple peaks in different areas. It's like trying to compare Beethoven and the Beatles. Sometimes I hear from people, 'I think you try too hard in your comedy.' And that's what I worry about.
asian persons ifs
Even if he is your friend, never, ever call an Asian person.
gun midget loaded
I'm a drunken midget with a loaded gun, a loaded gun.
simple trying stuff
I don't try to call myself a poet. But I know that my stuff is pretty literal, in that the themes are pretty simple and on the surface.
emotional challenges brain
Then the challenge is, once you left brain it and build it, then when you're on stage you have to know it so well that you can get lost in it. I don't want to be onstage looking like a robot, I want to be at the end of the day very emotional and what feels like someone being up there rather than reciting things. That's always the challenge, to analyze and then somehow lose yourself in something you absolutely know backwards and forwards. And nothing's going to surprise you, but you have to be surprised by it and let it surprise you.
thinking clubs littles
I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.
thinking favors littles
I do think that stand-up comedy in general heavily favors masculinity and so I like to act a little feminine onstage.
