given stories
I can't write a joke. I could never write. I do a lot of stories and I call them stories, but they're just comedy recitals on a given subject.
background comedy few people
There's probably been very few people in comedy that have a diversified background as I do.
came clubs vegas
I came to Vegas because I wanted to, not because I thought it could help my career. I didn't even know they had comedy clubs here.
I always wanted to be a comedian, but I wasn't sure how you do that.
famous love
I didn't get rich and famous, but I do what I love.
funny joke method people time
Most people are used to the T.V. comedy method of one joke every 18 seconds. And that's why it's not funny... There's no time for anything to develop.
detailed stories
I'm a storyteller. I'm not like any other comic. I tell detailed stories - not made-up stuff, but true stories.
divert work
I have a routine I go through on the days that I work, and I don't want to divert from that.
movements stands ties wrap
Each piece I tell stands on its own, and then it all ties together. It segues from story to story, and then I wrap it up - like three-piece movements in a symphony.
life wonderful
It has been a wonderful life for me. It's just been a blessing. I can't say I would have done it any other way. I have no regrets. I like what I do.
parish
Fortunately for me, or unfortunately, they made me an editor of the Parish Prison Pelican. I could read and write, and I had a way with words.
bible dinosaurs earth means messing museum noticed people saw
If the Bible is correct, and the Earth is only 6,000 years old, that means there were no dinosaurs, and museum curators have been messing with us. Or the dinosaurs were here, and we never noticed them. Or a lot of people saw them but didn't want to say anything.
funny humor
I look at things logically. The humor I do is to go from A to B to C to D, and F is the funny.
bunch gigantic laughs medium prefer several smaller
I prefer to have one gigantic laugh preceded by several smaller laughs rather than a bunch of medium laughs all along.
