(quoted from a recent interview...)
What got you started in stand-up comedy?
“The brochures were very alluring. There
was also a campus recruiter who had set up a booth with a banner reading;
Wanna make fun of people and sleep ‘till noon?’ I became
a victim of aggressive marketing.”
How would you describe your comedy?
“Observational, anecdotal. Neither divisive
or derisive. I stay away from cheap shots because there is nothing worse
than telling a joke you’re not proud of, and it doesn’t work.
A good portion of my material comes from stories and observations about
my wife and kids. I have a wonderful marriage and family life but it
doesn’t sound exactly like that in my show, there’s no humor
in ‘we all loved each other today and we were happy, happy, happy’.”
A favorite joke of yours?
“A friend of mine spent his entire life
trying to find the secret to immortality… you know what his dying
words were? "No, that's not it."
