But sometimes it’s good to dare yourself to do the unthinkable. And rather than stand in front of an audience with no clothes on, I decided to have a go at stand-up comedy Picture Quote #1

I got lucky. I won the San Francisco Stand-Up Comedy Competition in 1977 while I was still at San Francisco State Picture Quote #1

I play these sort of comical instruments I invented, like the electric rake and the electric plunger. I do a lot of almost stand-up comedy material. Just the juxtaposition of the different styles in itself sometimes is funny. Like, I do sort of an acoustic version of ‘Purple Haze’ that has some bluegrass licks in it Picture Quote #1

Stand-up keeps you alive. It is definitely the most specialized field in comedy because you need to stay sharp and well-tuned every night Picture Quote #1

Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is

When you’re a stand-up, you play in front of 600 people, and it’s all about timing. I could never do stand-up comedy; it would be way too hard for me Picture Quote #1

I do films which get me out of my comedian routine so that I don’t get bored being a stand-up comedian. And with films, it’s here today, gone tomorrow. So stand-up comedy is here to stay for me Picture Quote #1

I go to a lot of stand-up comedy. I find more inspiration from observational stuff than from rap Picture Quote #1

I have a work-out regime; I am not a maniac. It sounds cliche, but stand-up comedy, doing a one-man show, helps keep me young, and yes, it is exhausting, but I don’t collapse Picture Quote #1

I’m not a comedian. I don’t do stand-up. I don’t tell jokes. I’m a comedic actor, and approach my work that way. The comedy comes through the character Picture Quote #1

The darkest nights produce the brightest stars

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

As a live stand-up comedy performer, I have the benefit of choosing real entrance music Picture Quote #1

Real comedy can’t be learned; it comes from a need for justice. The best who stand up, stand up for something Picture Quote #1

Stand-up comedy in the end, unlike the rest of the entertainment industry, is a meritocracy. There’s a certain level of undeniability you can work toward Picture Quote #1

I took a job in a comedy club - not doing stand-up comedy, because that’s my idea of hell, but in the office - and I went traveling Picture Quote #1

Stand-up can take you in so many different places, man. So many doors can be opened up from stand-up comedy, and the first one that was opened up for me was acting. But you can go from acting to being a TV personality to being a radio personality to being a writer to being a producer, to just being a visionary, to voiceover work Picture Quote #1

New York State is giant and has some of the most beautiful landscape on the Eastern seaboard. There is so much history in New York State, from the Erie Canal to the Catskills, the birth of American stand-up comedy Picture Quote #1

When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Stand-up comedy is tough right now. Anybody can come to a concert, tape you, and put you up on the Internet. You either fight it or embrace it Picture Quote #1

I just love entertaining. I will do anything - stand-up comedy, video games, fencing, internet shorts - I just want to keep being lucky enough to entertain people anyway I can. I try never to limit my art to a medium Picture Quote #1

Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don’t believe me when I tell them. That’s how I saw myself, in comedy Picture Quote #1

I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic Picture Quote #1

I did stand-up comedy for seventeen years. I need to explore other things Picture Quote #1
