I'm a comedian, and I like to work on my live show, and if I'm doing television, I don't have time to work on my live show, and I can become a lame comic, and that sucks.
I really admire stand-up, and I think I would have loved to learn how to do it. I think it's terrifying and thrilling. A really cool thing to do. It's a dying art, in a way.
I don't have a lot of physical comedy instincts. I'm more verbal.
As a comic, I think I'm very verbally oriented about a lot of the stuff that I've written or thought up and how I say it.
I do actually use a boxing trainer when I train for stand-up.
In order to be the best comic, you have to perform in a wide diversity of rooms.
I always tell comics you got to hang with your stand-up.
Comedy takes a very specific technique, specific skills.
You can't teach someone to be funny, but you can teach comic timing. If you listen to a good comic, you can learn how to put it on a page.
If you're a comic, you don't have a rehearsal room, you rehearse on stage. My main concern is remembering everything.
Comedy is something that I'm definitely looking to get into. I had a little taste of it and I do intend on going to classes for it because I think it's a different muscle, and it's hard to find female comedians.
I am a 'made' cartoonist, but I was born a comic.
Any comic can get on the radio show and be funny. You can get that on any morning radio show or afternoon radio show. There are plenty of people who do that. It's not a difficult format, to sit around with two or three comics and be funny.
