The 'Inside' record definitely opened up a whole new audience.

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.

Too many times you come across lyrics that sound like you've heard them before or you can't really relate to them. And I think that I write songs that sound fresh and sensual in kind of a layered, lush way. But I also think that they are real, and that's why I wanted to call the record 'Inside Out.'

I'm a comedian, and the other comedians are played by comedians, the same way that in 'Once' there are the musicians that hang out together.

I am not an artist which is 'in.'

Comedians sometimes forget that there's an audience. You gotta be conscious that you're performing for other human beings.

It really helps a comedian to be an outsider.

Comedy lives on in the web and TV, but nobody's pressing comedy albums anymore.

Anybody with a sharp brain and a mic can become a comedian, but there's a need to move beyond it. The audience wants to witness the marriage of theatre, comedy and something more.
