My first job was at a Chicago night club called Mr. Kelly's.

Unquestionably, standup comedy is and has always been an art form.

I believe it is important for comedians to know who came before them.

The old problems - love, money, security, status, health, etc. - are still here to plague us or please us.

I am presently in my thirteenth year of teaching a graduate course at the University of Southern California.

My whole act is confession.

I heard the other day of a man who paid a psychologist $50 to cure him of an inferiority complex - and later was fined $25 and costs for talking back to a traffic cop.
