Like once we picked Jim Norton as the head of security, the writing flows pretty easily.

It's a constant process of bouncing ideas off of one another and intuitively arriving at the right decision in the moment.

Sometimes crowds start out not liking someone but then they shift and love them. Or vice versa. It can shift on a dime.

Not that that's the goal, but sometimes these funny insights can also be deeply profound.

I don't think comics necessarily think in literary terms. There is an element of developing your stage persona and your comedic voice, but I don't think comics see it like a character in a novel.

It always comes down to what the crowd buys coming out of your mouth, which differs from one comic to the next.

I don't know that I have a single comedy philosophy. But talking about things that matter to you is a good place to start. Listening is a big part of it, too.
