I've been doing stand-up since '89.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started doing stand-up in college.
Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.
I can't believe how much time has passed. The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I'm 41, and I still feel like I haven't found myself onstage.
I realize as I get older that stand-up is a huge part of who I am. I think I'll do it for the rest of my life.
Every time I could possibly be doing stand up, I am.
I've done stand-up since I was 18 years old, and I absolutely love it, but I used to go onstage, and the audience was my peers. Now I go onstage, and I could be their mother.
I've actually never done standup before.
I don't think I'm ever going to retire from stand-up, but what I have retired from is working the road every week.
Until I started doing standup, there were some very bleak days.
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.
