You don't look down at your feet. A lot of comedians want to look down at their feet, but you break contact with the audience.

Don't text or twitter during the show. Just live your life. Don't keep telling people what you're doing. Just, because also - also - it lights up your big dumb face.

I do actually use a boxing trainer when I train for stand-up.

When you're a father in a marriage, you sort of become the mother's assistant, and you sort of get a list from her every day, and you do, you know, you run down the list, and it feels very much like a chore. And a lot of fathers live in kind of an avoidance. They sit on the toilet for several hours a day... Oh, honey, it took me 40 minutes to go to the post office... But once you become a dad without the mom there, you have to take it all on, and you sort of activate male skills that you didn't know you could apply to fatherhood.

It's a positive thing to talk about terrible things and make people laugh about them.

I've started to kind of hate people, and it's not because I have anything against them. It's just, I enjoy it. It's recreation.
