I just like to giggle. I think the desire defies all logic and reason. I just gravitate to funny people.
A really refined and clear voice. Comedy that has been really thought out. People being truthful and honest. I'm not into body humor. I get grossed out by body stuff.
Maria Bamford, Tig Notaro and Hannah Gadsby.
I accepted a long time ago that I would never be as good as Bamford. But it's not a competition (although some may feel it is).

Sometimes anger and frustration, sometimes it's just silliness. I think of something funny and want to share it.
Pre or post-covid? I would say now a good Tuesday is when the news doesn't sink my heart and I can go outside and breathe the air. (I live in California and in the last few weeks we have had multiple fires and an earthquakes...good times.)
Like a stage coach? Never been on one.
I need a mattress. I'm old.
This was all given to me by experienced pros...
Don't talk about "comedy" in your set.
The bad sets are better for you than the good ones.
You have to be your own biggest fan.
Be a "Insert Stereotype" kind of comic.
I saw a couple go by on one of those bird scooters. I thought, that's so romantic...when people want to die together.
I don't think I have ever really travelled just for comedy. If I am going somewhere I'll try to find a place to get booked. Needless to say I am not doing it for the money.
I just ate some lentils. So not very hungry.
Sad but really busy. I have a job. I don't know whether to be sad for myself or all the people who don't have one.
Creatively this is the least productive I have ever been. The best thing for me during lockdown has been busy work.
I could complain about comedy, but I think that's a pre-covid luxury. Now I am grateful for all the opportunity I have.
