No one goes into standup to make money. The frustration and rejection are just too much.
I initially signed up for Twitter just to do jokes I wasn’t going to do in my stand-up routine.
I just want to be known as funny.
I was the youngest of six kids, so yeah, feeding myself was important, but it’s not like I was obsessed with food growing up.
I realized, in removing or rewriting these jokes, that often the jokes weren’t done or that I was using, for me, the curse words as kind of a crutch. So then I just started writing.
I try to only eat animals that are vegan. I’m probably the opposite of a vegan.
I’ve always wanted to be an actor. I’ve never planned on the acting and the stand-up feeding each other; they’ve always been separate desires.
Manhattan’s probably one of the bluest parts in the country, and Indiana’s definitely one of the redder states. I have sympathy for both sides.
Most of my material is, it doesn’t necessarily involve a lot of editing. So even the show with the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, I don’t have to worry about some of the material being inappropriate.

I’m a comedian, which is the opposite of a lifestyle that equips you to be a parent.
I would say I’m – in the show, I’m a cultural Catholic, which is what I was.
Kale is a superfood and it’s special power is tasting bad.
It’s good to be back in New York. I have lived here ten years. I’m originally from Indiana. I know what most of you are thinking: Indiana: Mafia. But the fact of the matter is where I grew up there was something very similar to the Mafia: 4-H.
Oh. What if we eat a lot with people that annoy the hell out of us?
You know, I want to teach, but I don’t want to read?
Meredith Baxter Birney gets beaten by a rod, in the Lifetime Original, Rod.
I am somebody who – my path to my faith is very kind of individual, and I don’t want to be lumped into the category of those Westboro Baptists.
