You really have no idea whether or not what you're writing is funny. In stand-up and sketch comedy, you know right away and you can make your changes accordingly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you have a writing partner and you're writing a comedy, your goal is to make each other laugh.
Every time I think about writing, comedy doesn't interest me in the slightest. I can play comedy, but I don't think in terms of comic dialogue.
I think it would be harder for me not to write comedy because the comic view of things is the one that comes most naturally to me.
If the writing is good, then the writing is already funny. All you have to do is make this funny writing true to the very deepest of your heart, and the fact that you are capable of making this true will be hysterical.
With comedy, if you write something for me, I'm better at it. I'm not sure I'm so good at improvisational stuff.
With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.
There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.
It takes a while to realize that just because you're a stand-up comedian and you do comedy, you're not going to be good at all comedy.
Everyone who has ever met me for at least five minutes knows I'm a really funny person. I love to laugh and to make people laugh, so writing comedy comes naturally to me.
First and foremost, I just want to write comedy.
