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

Comedy takes all of life and puts it through a lens of acceptance, just by the mere act of talking about it on stage in a communal setting. It's very primal and ritualistic in that sense.

Comedians can articulate some important and profound ideas that address a lot of the hypocrisy we're inundated with (in the media).

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.

I think there comes a time in any comedian's career where they can either coast or keep growing and evolving.

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

I'll sit down for an hour or two a few days a week in a quiet place and brainstorm. The earlier in the day, the better, before the parade of distractions starts.
