I am originally from Indiana. I know what most of you are thinking: Indiana - mafia.

You never want to be the worst bowler of the group-because then everyone treats you like you have cancer. "You can do it! We're praying for you." The advice starts. "Use a heavier ball." "Keep your arm straight." "You should get a vasectomy." If you're really bad at bowling like me, they'll ask if want the bumpers up. Not that bowling is that complex anyway. "You want the bumpers? We can get rid of the pins. Why don't you take this coloring book and sit in the corner?"

If someone picks up one thing you've written, you want them to go, 'Wow, this is pretty good.'

Stand-up comedy in the end, unlike the rest of the entertainment industry, is a meritocracy. There's a certain level of undeniability you can work toward.

I never went to church when I was in college, either.

I love writing stand-up so much and tinkering and looking for ideas.

I think stand-up comedy is this - it's this kind of indulgence and narcissism.
