The Comedy Central CDs combined with the TV specials are what led to my stuff being traded and passed around, and a lot more people knowing my jokes than I thought.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Dad had a music store, and he'd often bring home comedy albums that I would listen to. I started listening to Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby, and developing taste. They really influenced my style of comedy.
I was very into New Order, Joy Division, all of that when I was younger. I had a lot of bootlegs that I saved up my pocket money to buy. I had all the obscure early EPs.
I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.
I had always loved comedy, and acted out Steve Martin and Bill Cosby albums with my sister for my parents on road trips and stuff, and I loved to laugh and make people laugh.
I still buy CDs and DVDs, but generally for more obscure material.
Comedy was a secret want, but it wasn't anything I pursued.
I got everybody on my side through comedy.
When I was young, my dad always let me listen to comedy albums.
Comedy was something I picked up trying to perfect my art through spoken word. I got on YouTube just to show off my poetry, and then people thought I was funny, so I ran with it.
The radio was my big influence. Comedy came from the instinctual feel I had for language.
