Quotes About Clubs

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.

I knew I wanted to be in comedy but the path of least resistance was doing stand-up in folk music clubs where I could get on stage. I guess you could get up no matter how bad you were and you didn't have to audition. You just got up.

There's still people that do it poorly... and people that do it very, very well. I think there's still an incredible spectrum.

For those who have a fire burning within. For those who have a dream.

Like the Birth Of Venus, the song [Yello "oh, Yeah"] denotes the birth of the bro. The song just reminds me of bros looking out over lowered Ray-Bans. It birthed a negative sexual revolution.

There's something good buried in that song and I might not hate it as much if I hadn't been a sex worker.

It's the fault of the chess players themselves. I don't know what they used to be, but now they're not the most gentlemanly group.
