I don't personally feel comfortable performing in a comedy club, mainly because as an audience member, I've never enjoyed that experience. It feels a little bit theme-park-ish to me, in that it's a club whose product is comedy. I find that weird. It's like those specialty chocolate stores, where everything is chocolate. It's too specific. I like going somewhere that specializes in variety.
Michael ShowalterI like doing all different types of comedy - stand-up, sketch, movies, TV. I like to try everything.
Michael ShowalterI'm writing a memoir. I'm four pages in. I start with my first memory, which is kicking my uncle in the balls. I was four.
Michael ShowalterI'm not sure why I like cats so much. I mean, they're really cute obviously. They are both wild and domestic at the same time.
Michael ShowalterIf your dad is anything like mine, then you have no clue what to buy him for Father's Day. The only Father's Day tradition in my family is the annual conversation he and I have where I say, 'Hey, Dad, what do you want for Father's Day this year?' and he says, 'Nothing.' Then I ask my mom what I should get him and she says, 'He likes sandalwood soap, dangly jewelry and Chanel No. 5 perfume.'
