Postmodern comedy doesn't work well with very old audiences, because it's making fun of the comedy they enjoy.

Women are like puzzles because prior to 1920 neither had the right to vote. Puzzles still don't.
people facts comedy
If comedy is about surprises, about tension, there's a lot of tension and surprise there, in the fact that people are expecting this to be natural.
comedian watches comedy
I'm friends with a lot of comedians, but we don't talk about material. Most comedians I know don't watch a lot of other comedy.
levels unexpected comedy
For me, if you distill comedy down, it is surprise and the unexpected. That has to be it on its most base level, in any form.

Comedy is very strange to me and I don't fully understand it's purpose or function.

I chose to do comedy instead of going to college.

When I tried to hit puberty I swung and I missed.
acting comedy constantly front guy happened money paid presented stage walked
For me, comedy is constantly presented as this fake casualness, like a guy just walked on stage going, 'This crazy thing happened to me the other day.' And he's in front of 3000 people, and he's acting like an everyman, and he's getting paid so much money.
song kings pirate
What's that? My six song album entitled Bo Fo Sho is currently available on iTunes? With three songs that have never been heard on the internet? Uh, and if I try to pirate it for free I'll get AIDS? I would have guessed scurvy. Well, see you later ghost of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm a stand up comic and I always sit and slouch, and I got my girlfriend pregnant on my sterile uncles pull-out couch.
positivity people bully
Comedy should be a source of positivity. I don't want to bully people, and I don't want people to come to my show to feel terrible about something. I'm actually very open to having a conversation about what I should or shouldn't say.
believe doe believe-in-you
No one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you.
