gay boys thinking
My whole family thinks I'm gay, I guess it's always been that way. Maybe it's 'cause of the way that I walk, Makes them think I like... boys.
dream college eight
I worked eight hours a day just so I could get into the college of my dreams and say that I got in - and I never went.
laughter silly fall
In comedy, falling means laughter. You can take something sacred and make it silly. The more sacred it is, the funnier it is. It has a bigger drop to fall.
character play names
It's not most important to communicate myself on stage as it is to be as funny or interesting as I possibly can on stage. I feel more like I'm doing a play whose main character just happens to share my name.
ideas people answers
The strength of comedy is I don't have to answer to anybody but sometimes you want to learn from other people and see your ideas strengthen by other people.
thinking trying controversial
I think controversy has this allusion of being controversial but it's totally not, which is why I'm trying to get away from it because it's just easy and automatic.
people trying littles
I'm very interested in trying to make comedy shows that are a bit bigger, more theatrical, more of a "show." Some people might say I'm trying too hard, but that's a compliment to me. I like to inject a bit of production value and flair to comedy, or at least to my little corner of comedy.
laughing trying littles
I don't consciously try to make things difficult as much as I try to make them a little different. I like all kinds of laughs. I tried to make a show that elicit groans, guffaws, chuckles, boos.
thinking trying add
I just try to do things on stage that I think the audience would enjoy. And I try to draw on and add to acts that I've enjoyed watching.
funny humor ironic
And an anteater plus a large hungry mutant ant? An ironic way to die.
funny comedy vote
Women are like puzzles because prior to 1920 neither had the right to vote. Puzzles still don't.
car bullets newspapers
I've been doin' drive-bys all of my life. Except the bullets are newspapers, the car is my bike.
song dirty kids
I'm not a grown up until everybody realises I'm a grown up. When everyone remembers me as the dirty kid singing little songs I am the dirty little kid.
book pussy good-book
Is there anything better than pussy? Yeah, a really good book.
