If You See Me At A Restaurant,

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.

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 Think People Have This "it Can't Hurt To Ask" Mentality, Which Is True On Some Level. I Get Comics Like, "hey, Will You Look At These Videos Of Me On Myspace?" I Was Like, "well, Who's Gonna Benefit From That? What If I Don't Like You?" No, I'm Gonna Write To A Stranger And Say, "hi. You Like Me, And I Don't Like You. And Now I Feel Bad When I Didn't Need To Feel Bad, Because You Put Me On The Spot." Or Like, "can I Open For You?" Well, I've Never Seen You Work, So No. I Certainly Made Awkward Mistakes When I Was Starting Out, And They're Just Trying To Have A Career.

I Don't Know Any Astronauts. There Are A Lot Of People Who Say They Want To Be Comedians.

And The Goal Really Is To Make The Audience Laugh, To Bring Them Some Joy.
