I want to point out to adults that there is a world of good material available to you now in comic form - in this medium - and learn to give it your support because the more you support it, the better the material will be as it comes out.
There isn't a comedian in the world that hasn't bombed.
When you read comic material and people aren't laughing how do you know they're listening.
Since I got an audience before I even had a comic voice, my material that really wasn't worthy of an audience somehow got it, slightly unfairly.
I have tons of jokes with moments in them over the years in stand-up that don't get a laugh but I love them so they stay.
Generating comic material can sometimes get the better of you.
For a comedian, there is nothing better than watching another great comedian.
Compared to what some of the young comics use for material today, I'm a priest.
The thing with the comedian is you can make all the jokes you want and not every joke it going to be a winner, and not every joke is going to land, there'll be some that somebody doesn't laugh at, but that's just part of the deal.
Everybody in comedy has something like that happen to them: They bomb, or no one shows up. You're like, 'Hey, I'm funny, trust me!' And the world collectively goes, 'Yeah, you and everybody else.'
Years have passed since I have set foot in a comedy club. If the comic is doing badly it's painful, and if the comic is doing brilliantly, it's extremely painful.
