Acting in a sitcom or a comedy movie is like a comedy routine with the setups.

There is no reason to hit a woman. And I was just like, really? I could give you, like, 17 right off the top of my head.

I do enjoy them. I get to meet the next generation of comics and help them out. Big comics doing small shows was something that used to happen a lot more back in the day. I wish there was more of that.

I keep doing specials because I think there are a lot of people who make movies and TV who are fans of comedy - if they start to like you, they'll get a project going and call you in.

I'm one of those guys where you know, I'm 23 years into this and I love the road more than ever and rather than whittling down my schedule to just play the major cities, I've actually expanded the amount of places that I go to because I want to see a bunch of stuff. You know, plan it as I can while I'm still young enough to travel.

It's a blue-collar city [Manchester] that's transitioning into a white collar place and people are getting priced out.

Do you know how many times a week people ask me why I'm yelling?
