I mean, I guess I started during the comedy boom, so it was literally like, on Sunday you could decide you wanted to be a comic, and on Monday, you could be on stage

I don't really know much about pirates, or pirate culture. I'd be a contrarian pirate.

I would call it a comedy variety show. We have some people just doing straight standup. We usually try to have one musical act of sort. So its just people being funny in different ways, not just sketch, not just standup, not just characters, all of those things.

I want to release another CD this year, finish writing a screenplay, and make another short film

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'd rather send out a mass email then hang posters all over the place

I haven't done a lot in London. I think comedy over there is how it was over here years ago. There's tons of it, and they're better paid.
