Material, the material. The hardest thing to do is to write jokes, the hardest thing to do is to put
that all those words together and then be on the stage and be able to deliver it. I mean delivery
takes time but you can see how over the years, somebody grows into that. You can see how
comfortable they get after a while delivering the same joke over and over and over and how it
gets better and better and better with the delivery.
Oh, who said they checked their ego at the door but you must say you know it’s really a lot of
rejection so comedians have to have really a good stomach for that because there’s a lots and lots
of rejection until you finally were able to break through.
I know that it takes so many years for you to really have the slightest bit of a break through. I
don’t think anybody really makes it until they are doing this at least 10 years. so you can have 10
years and a lot of rejections and then all of a sudden it’s just quite amazing. Where one day
you’ll say oh my god look at that, look at that person. That stuff is really great, I don’t know how
it happens but it happens.
Their own voice, originality and that’s it. Even if you’re not that funny early on as long as you
have this slant to this direction this thing about you and you stay with it, it will develop. I’ve
seen that happen all of the years.
What happens when I find is I made things somebody is funny and it does have the wide appeal
but as soon as that perception gets out then they become stars. Its quite amazing, its just you
know that, its almost like that stamp of approval to tell people that oh you can laugh at this
person now because we’re telling you they’re funny. So I mean that helps a lot also, the
perception.
