They just want to laugh for an hour and go home. Once I wrapped my head around that, my act evolved accordingly.  (Billy Gardell Quotes) You start realizing that maybe you’re the one night a month that people have out, and they don’t need to hear your political views or how dark you can get. They just want to laugh for an hour and go home. Once I wrapped my head around that, my act evolved accordingly  (Billy Gardell Quotes) I mean, yeah, I want to lose some weight! I’m doing the best I can  (Billy Gardell Quotes) And then as I got older, see, I think a lot of times with comics, your life kind of permeates your act. Whatever is happening in your life is what’s going on on stage. So if you’re angry in your life, then that’s going to be on stage. If you’re looking for the guy that’s just going to make you laugh for an hour and forget about, that’s me  (Billy Gardell Quotes) As a comic, I’ve heard gunshots while I’m trying to get to sleep.
