People don't understand that that's really what it is. They're looking for a magic phone number or something. And to a certain extent, I understand that, because comedy is treated so much as a stepping stone by a lot of people.

I had temping jobs also. I liked the flexibility. There was no asking for time off; you just didn't work.

Buddha, much like everyone else has good and bad days.

The problem with a lot of comedy clubs is not that they are a comedy club; it's just the cheesy way they're presenting themselves. That's why a lot of people have a problem with them. If you're a relatively unknown comedian, you can play at a comedy club, you might play to hundreds of people every night. But if you try to make a concert event out of it, and try to play a rock club or something, where you might play to 10 people or no people. And the flipside of that is, that's also a great thing, to play to people who are your fans. Some people are too hard on the comedy clubs.

And the goal really is to make the audience laugh, to bring them some joy.

I don't ban bloggers from my shows. I have a separate line: VIP seating for bloggers.

It was actually 3 years between albums. That seems like a long time to me
