For me, if you distill comedy down, it is surprise and the unexpected. That has to be it on its most base level, in any form.

I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone's watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.

I just like to write and then perform.

I know it's the comedian's instinct to say, "Do it, man, nothing's off-limits! It's cool, bro!" I don't know if that's the answer for me. "Do I really want to make a joke about a miscarriage when a woman in the audience might have had one?" I don't worship comedy; at the end of the day I don't fall to the altar of comedy unquestioningly.

I actually wrestled in high school. I was only in one match, and I lost... my virginity.

Postmodern comedy doesn't work well with very old audiences, because it's making fun of the comedy they enjoy.

It's not most important to communicate myself on stage as it is to be as funny or interesting as I possibly can on stage. I feel more like I'm doing a play whose main character just happens to share my name.
