It really helped to have someone whose taste I really trusted who I knew was really smart and a really good writer. Sometimes I find it hard to judge my own work so it was good to have someone who could look at it. It was like, "Oh, she likes it, then it's good."

I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.

I approximated the Black Friday experience at home by hurling myself into a wall a number of times and then ordering online.

I would say I try to make my comedy really personal. I try to tell stories that happened to me, experiences from my life.

I am a very nerdy guy. I understand that it's easier to cast me as a nerdy guy than an action star - although I would love to be an action star!

On stage I just have to be myself. In acting you have to be so many other people.

I was extremely shy and had a terrible fear of public speaking. But I had fallen in love with stand-up.
