I had always loved comedy, and acted out Steve Martin and Bill Cosby albums with my sister for my parents on road trips and stuff, and I loved to laugh and make people laugh.
From Rob Delaney
Comedians who are 22 years old can certainly be funny and clever, and be capable of telling jokes - but are they talking about their favorite TV shows, or a particular brand of shampoo?
My stand-up is far more rooted in reality than my Twitter.
I hate wearing suits and ties.
I use Twitter as a tool to get involved with people, to sell tickets to gigs where I can stand in a room and smell the audience - and I love that!
I want people to feel good about themselves.
With Twitter, you just want to make people laugh in their meeting; on stage, people have paid for their tickets with their hard-earned money, so I owe them the truth as I experience it.
Depression taught me the importance of compassion and hard work, and that you can overcome enormous obstacles.
In high school, I definitely fancied myself an intense guy, which is so lame.
In real life, I am alarmingly boring.
