It just seems to me that there's no particular reason comedy albums should be dead. There's a lot to laugh at. We have very funny people, still.

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.

The Internet has done nothing but good for comedy all around. Comedians no longer have to rely on TV execs and club owners deciding if they are funny or not.

Comedy is basically self-deprecation.

Comedy always pushes some buttons, because it wouldn't be comedy if it didn't.

Some comedians will tour and do these classic bits all the time. But now with YouTube and Comedy Central, people see your stuff, and they don't want to hear you do that again.

I sometimes think of not doing Twitter or Facebook anymore, but that's how people find their favorite bands and comedians.

Editing and post-production is so important with comedy.

In real life, comedians aren't funny.

Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.
