I really never had any ambitions to be a standup comic. I was talked into it by guys that I used to work out with.
Joe RoganHave you ever talked to someone, and you're not even really talking to them? Actors are the worst for that.
Joe RoganWhen someone comes along and expresses him or herself as freely as they think, people flock to it. They enjoy it.
Joe RoganComedy is a funny thing, and it's really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title. You would never go to a club just to see "Live music," you would go to a jazz club to see jazz, a blues club to see blues, etc. But when you go to see "standup comedy," if you don't know the performers material, you really don't have any idea what you're gonna get.
