What would yourReal Housewivestagline be?One mans white trash … is another mans white treasure.
Wait, that didnt sound like I wanted it to.
I guess I have to agree with those fans!
Its really cool and generous when people are into who you actually are.
And my mom didnt really discourage me, because I was out there crushing.
He was in marketing, though, not milk.
This is a real series Ive been pitching based on my life.
MY character would be the teacher who supervises Pattys Christian club.
Its very dark and funny, and I hope someone makes it.
But it reminds me of home and, frankly, it just starts hot.
Suddenly, youre walking out all slow and weird trying to get to the good part.
This has never been a problem with Blow the Whistle.
When I said I was wrapping up, he yelled, FINALLY.
Somehow it got laughs, even though I felt insane.
Nominate one comedian you dont know personally who you think is overdue for wider recognition and why.Detroit comedianCOCO.
She has the greatestDef Comedy Jamopening bit of all time.
I have watched it approximately 150 times.
Shes also a legendary radio host, but I want everyone to see her stand-up.
and she said, That she was honest and pure.
She was fragile, but she was tough.
She pulled no punches.
She didnt play no games.
From six oclock in the morning to six oclock in the evening, she was the same person.
I love that so much.
When it comes to your comedy opinions about material, performing, audience, the industry, etc.
what hill will you die on?Comedians, tip the staff.
Headliners, ask who your openers are and what theyre being paid.
Audience members, just wear a whole shoe.
I do not want to see your man sandal resting on my stage.
You bought a ticket to an event and you are a grown-up; put on a whole shoe.
Sorry, I was just in Colorado again.
Also, comics: Tell people you respect and love that you respect and love them now.
We die young so often we might as well be professional fucking wrestlers.
Encourage your friends who are doing a good job or being good people.
I like to tell my friends Im earnestly proud of them.
You never know when someone will need that.
To the industry: Hire fat people and hire poor people.
We live in a poor, fat country.
If your writers room is all 22-year-old Ivy League kids with abs, that is not representation.
Whats an embarrassingly earnest goal you have?Oh, I would just love to be IN something.
A TV show, a movie, even a sketch.
I want to be on set.
Im pretty successful at stand-up, but Ive never been in anything and its a huge dream of mine.
Its brought me a lot of joy.
I like TV is already embarrassing to say out loud, but its true.
Id just love to show my mom, like, Hey look, theres me.
At this point, Id love to be like an Alan Rickman kind of scenario.
He got his first role at 42!
It could be anything, too.
But that comedy path works for one very specific group of people.
I wouldnt take any of those conversations back, but I wish Id been more prepared for the consequences.
Unfortunately, I believed the lie about how to succeed.
But if I hadnt, I dont think I would be as proud of myself or my comedy.
