Good comics gravitate to each other; you know who's your type of person by watching them onstage, hopefully.

I just always found it easier to be the same guy onstage as you are offstage.

There are a lot of comics at the top end making staggering amounts of money and selling out stadiums. I think stand-up is a more intimate thing than that. Maybe because of the kind of comedy I do. It's like a discussion, but I'm the one with the microphone.

If you're a comic, you don't have a rehearsal room, you rehearse on stage. My main concern is remembering everything.

Once I get out onstage, it's the same sort of basic production that it is anywhere else. But I might be a little bit aware that there might be people I know out there, who wondered where I was.

I get frustrated by the fact that comics go on stage with some kind of agenda beyond comedy - I'm not sure it should be about that.

You can't be a proper comic unless you've been out on stage and felt the fear.

Some comics don't like it when people talk during the set, and it does get a little bit annoying after awhile, but I basically let people dictate what jokes I'm going to do.

It's not until you develop your own voice, your own persona onstage that you become your own comic, who you really are.

My favorite comedians are basically themselves onstage.
