Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.

Performing music is a way to do comedy, but without the obligation to do a solid hour, hour and half of a standup. I could intersperse it with music, so it became a really good format for me.

I actually credit Twitter with fine-tuning some joke-writing skills. I still feel like I'm working at it.

When I first started doing my comedy act, I just desperately needed material. So I took literally everything I knew how to do on stage with me, which was juggling, magic and banjo and my little comedy routines. I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy.

So, while fitting in, she was like a wicked detail standing out against a placid background.

Romance takes place when you first fall in love. It stirs all emotions and you can manipulate and be manipulated.

At first I had no skills in writing comedy. I didn't know what a joke was, but, as someone once told me, your emotions follow your intent. If you create the intention of starting a comedy act, slowly your mind starts adjusting and you arrive at a new emotional state.
