I think, to be a great conversationalist, you need to be interested in being in said conversation. Oddly enough, I think you need to be a great listener, and I do think I'm a good listener. I think that's my asset - I always listen to people when I talk to them, and that's a big thing you have to have in life and in podcasts.
I've never been a big party guy or super social.
I've always worked toward, and felt comfortable with, you know, pausing and guiding the audience on a longer bit.
It's fun when you've opened for someone at a venue, and then years go by, and now you're headlining.
When you shoot a special, you have no idea what's going to happen, and the fact that I got to do the first one with Comedy Dynamics was a roll of the dice. It was a game changer for me professionally.
I'll never be a TV writer.
You should make travel as comfortable as possible.
Sleep is important for a comic - like it is for a lot of people.
When you're a comic doing a special, it's like you're directing your first movie.
Here's some advice: if something really embarrassing happens to your kid, don't take it on national TV.
I'm not the nicest guy on stage.
I think I'm a decent person.
The thing for me is that my natural state is to be reserved and not share.
I don't switch my act up to win over the crowd. I'm more like, 'You came here... this is what I do.' I dig my heels in harder if I feel like they are not on board.
A lot of times, you land in a city, and you're like, 'This is not my people.' I'm gonna do the show, but you don't feel like this is for you. And then, some places, you just go and just fall into a groove, and you're like, 'This feels right.'
I wasn't the crazy kid bouncing off the walls, I would just sit back a make comments and I made people laugh.
I'm really happy when I'm actively creating things. When I'm frustrated and not excited, it's because I haven't written anything in a month or so.
Ninety percent of my material is made on stage, but I feel like you're missing something by abandoning sitting down to write entirely.
I know there are a lot of comics that put their kids all over social media, but I think it's weird. There are over 100,000 people following you. To me, it feels like you should probably tone that down.
