Comedy is not commercial; it is risky, because what is funny in one place isn't always funny somewhere else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do mostly comedy, and it tends to be a subtler comedy. But I think that probably lends itself well to commercials.
No one wants to risk a million dollars on a few laughs. The big, flashy commercials are out. The soft sell is out.
Comedy is a very personal thing, and some people will find it funny, some people won't.
Comedy is taken care of by a free market.
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.
I think it would be a good thing in the creative community if there was less embarrassment of this word 'commercial' because that's how you make a business.
Comedy does offer an avenue to television and film careers for untelegenic people that great drama does not.
I think comedy is drama, often. It's hard to have comedy over a period of time - commercials are one thing, but over a period of time - comedy and tragedy go hand in hand.
I think that for the most part, when I started doing comedy, it had become very commercialized.
