Stand-up, for me, is really more of an addiction, so you have to feed the beast whenever you can.
From John Oliver
Here in America, people come out to see what they've known you to do. In England, it's like everyone comes out to tell you exactly how well they think you're doing.

I feel non-stop Brit shame!
I feel more at home knowing I'm not really at home. It takes all the pressure off you trying to fit in!
If you're asking me, would I have voted for Mitt Romney, the answer is absolutely not. Emphatically not. I cannot envision a world in which I would have voted for Mitt Romney unless I sustained a massive concussion.
