When one is undoneโsprawled across the cold tile of a public bathroom in a pool of oneโs own vomit, or shivering in the back of a taxi in a pair of urine-soaked skinny jeans with no money for cab fare and a dead cell phone batteryโmuch like a wobbly toddler or an unhinged politician, one immediately looks for someone else to blame. God. Your parents. Ex-girlfriends. Undocumented immigrants. Marvin in Human Resources. China.
Aisha TylerI want to point out, that this is not my fault that everyone's afraid of me, because I did not kill a couple people the other day.
Aisha TylerNo one wants to hear about how awesome you were; people want to hear about the time you blew it. So I think the longer you do stand-up, the more comfortable you are. You stop wanting to hide your foibles and instead want to show who you are.
