Reality is the scary thing. Not my work, not comedy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What's fun about comedy is you're pushing things a little further than you would in a drama; you're pushing reality a little bit more.
At the end of the day I'm writing comedy. If you get too realistic as a comedy writer with your disasters, it stops being funny.
I sometimes find reality far more fantastical and unlikely than what I could just make up.
Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
Part of being a comedian is that it's your job to look at life and regurgitate it in a funny way, to point out its absurdities.
First of all, to defend my work, I had to believe that I am doing a totally silly, stupid, innocent comedy.
I like to do things that are shocking or challenging for the sake of comedy.
I do comedy for real people.
The best way to describe my work is comedy in a very, very real way. I'm not scared to look silly on camera. I take everyday situations we all go through and put a very real twist on it - things people can relate to.
