You can't be a proper comic unless you've been out on stage and felt the fear.
I've got too much respect for stand-ups to call myself one.
I used to attract a lot of feeders. I'd be quite happy to be locked in someone's flat and fed liquidised burgers.
I had a massive amount of self-belief when I did stand-up.
I've always been looking for other people's approval.
Some comics are in it for what they can get out of it. Others are in it for a love of comedy. I think those that are in it for a genuine love of comedy find each other within the circuit and become friends.
