I have no qualifications to do anything else and there weren't any formal application forms you had to fill in for stand-up, so I thought I'd give that a twist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn't have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, 'You should try stand-up,' and took me to a venue.
I started doing stand-up in college.
The beautiful thing about stand-up is you can create and immediately deliver, perform, and get paid for what you do.
I've actually never done standup before.
But long story short, I didn't start doing stand-up because I wanted to have a TV show or be an actor or even wanted to write sketch comedy. I got into stand-up because I love stand-up.
I've never been able to write for stand-up.
There's no real preparing at home for stand-up. You just go and you just do it.
I'm set up where I make a lot of money doing stand-up, and it's easy.
I can work as a writer, but I wanted to do stand-up.
Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.
