I'm From Minnesota! I Used To Work

You Know, I'm Playing The Mirage In Vegas, The Main Room... About 5 Percent Of All Comics End Up As The Main Headliner On The Vegas Strip, So That's A Big Deal For Me. Getting To Do My Stand-up The Way I Have This Summer Is Really What I've Dreamed Of Since I Was About 10 Years Old.

You Start Realizing That Maybe You're The One Night A Month That People Have Out, And They Don't Need To Hear Your Political Views Or How Dark You Can Get. They Just Want To Laugh For An Hour And Go Home. Once I Wrapped My Head Around That, My Act Evolved Accordingly.

The Quickest Way To Defuse Fear Or Insecurity Or Anger Is Usually Humor. I Think Comics Figure That Out Quickly, And, Once You Figure It Out, You Think, 'hey, If I Can Do This And Get Paid, That Would Be Kind Of Cool.

Stand-up Will Always Come First. I've Been Doing It For 22 Years, And Nothing Compares To That Connection You Have With The Audience. It's Euphoric.

Everybody Wants To Be A Better Version Of Themselves - Everybody. And I Hope One Day I Can Lose Some Weight. Maybe, Who Knows, I'll Hire Myself A Trainer And A Fancy Cook. In Five Years, Maybe I'll Be An Action Hero. Then Again, Maybe I'll Just Be This Guy. Who Knows? But The Fun Part Is Embracing The Human Side Of That.
