Denver has smart and energetic crowds that appreciate good comedy and don't take themselves too seriously.
From Ron Funches
I was always interested in comedy, like when I was 5 years old. I watched 'I Love Lucy' and 'Benny Hill.' I would always joke around with my sister. My mom was into comedy, too. She would go to the video store and get a couple of movies and some stand-up comedians' tapes.
My mom could afford to put us in a Catholic school for grades one through seven, but not after that.
My comedy is kind of a counteraction to some of the comedy I don't like. Or things I don't like.
I'm sauteing asparagus, Brussels sprouts,broccoli, some boneless, skinless chicken breast, some halibut. That's about it; that's all I'm allowed. That's what's legal for me to saute.
My breakfast is usually some oatmeal and berries and some agave, or a protein shake.
If I'm super scared or sick, I'll still suck my thumb.
Doing five-minute sets on 'Conan' and things like that are fun and a great way to introduce yourself, but it's such a constricting time, and you usually have to cut bits down.
In any great art, you create a world, and you invite people into that world, and hopefully, it's fleshed out enough and you've explained it well enough.
I think my comedy is about finding the good in bad situations - finding the joy. Why be angry? It doesn't help anything.
