I don't think that comedians have a tradition of trashing the next generation.

Ideally, you want to be in a fifty-fifty power-sharing arrangement with the audience - both of you are there for a mutually enjoyable experience.

Being a professional comedian is doing it right and good, when you don't feel like it.

Don't try to give a funny opinion; give your opinion in a way that will be funny.

Originality is never embraced as quickly as the commonplace.

Bombing teaches you how badly you want to become a comedian. Because unless it's a burning desire, you'll quit when the consistent bombing becomes too much to take.

When you take a pause before delivering your punch line, you will be using silence as a creative entity in itself.
