I was really gifted at being able to construct a joke, but it's like they weren't even memorable, my first jokes, because they were so about nothing.
The first time onstage, a light went on. 'OK, this is my thing. I'm comfortable here. This is my thing.'
It wasn't until I became more confident with myself and I put myself forward instead of the jokes; at first it was put the jokes out there and I'm just behind the jokes.
When my parents send me emails the first 3 are blank.
It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.
