I sat there in awe that some guy overseas, trying to protect our interests, was using a silly comedy as a survival tool. My brain had an explosion. I was really moved by that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The main reason I got into comedy was in the hope that I could make a few people laugh and feel better about life, and the fact that I do that is quite overwhelming, really.
My comedy is a nuclear bomb inside my mind. It's a weapon that's never been tested. It just blows up and flattens everybody.
I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended.
I think I enlist comedy to a serious purpose.
Now, where does my comedy come from, like, as a human being? Yeah, when I was a kid I was dyslexic and had to go to special-ed every day and felt stupid about that and got very witty to defend myself.
I do comedy to give people an ephemeral escape from the tragedy that permeates everyday life.
I was in the Air Force and was a boom operator (in-flight refueling). I got my comedy start in the Air Force.
I watched a lot of comedy growing up.
I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.
I've been doing comedy since I was two. You know, kids who make other kids laugh. The sickness had set in! I could make my friends' parents laugh; I had a sense of what was silly and funny.
