I find comedy to be really scary, because it can go so wrong so easily, and the margin for error is so huge - and I guess that's what makes it funny, that tension.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the first rule of comedy is that it has to be funny and I find a lot of the broad comedy which is sent to me, painfully unfunny.
Comedy is one of the toughest genres. It is so essential to get the timing right, failing which the humour can fall flat.
Almost every comedy you see is about people making all wrong choices and making all the errors of judgement possible. Good comedy is when it works on this scale. Because it is psychologically very real.
For me, I believe comedy's about taking risks, taking chances, working in a safe environment where you're comfortable making a fool of yourself. It's so critical, especially in comedy, to just have all those right pieces in place.
The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
I love comedy. There's just something so great about making people laugh. And for me, too, whenever I laugh, it just makes me feel so much better just watching a great comedy.
Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.
I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy. Making people laugh one moment and the next making them feel really uncomfortable.
Comedy is wonderful when you really nail it and you hear people laughing, but it's not always that easy.
I think comedy tells a lot; you can tell what people think by what they laugh at.
