Maria Bamford Trying Quotations

I just love that part of comedy, where you see somebody's jokes develop. They try something new to see what works, and I just love that part.

In my stand up, I think I try to be less energetic because I feel embarrassed about how much enthusiasm I have. There's something about acting like I don't care, or if I act like I haven't spent enough time on it, it seems to go better. If I act like I'm really trying to sell it, it doesn't go as well.
