Q: What's the first joke you ever wrote?
A: The first joke I ever wrote was a really lame joke when myspace first came out. It went "So have you guys heard of myspace? Basically you put a lot of information about yourself online, and then you ask lots of people who are already your friends to be your friends...and then you wait. And if you're like me you wait for hourse." I haven't told that joke since my first open mic.
Q: What is the source of your sense of humor?
A: My sense of humor comes from just thinking about everyday things and realizing what's silly about them, or could be silly about them. When I think of something funny, I kind of just pace around my house until I word it into a joke. I have a lot of funny friends also, and I think they influence me a lot.
Q: In school, were you the class clown or quiet nerd?
A: I was pretty quiet through elementary and middle school and most of high school. In my junior year of high school, I joined my school's theatre company and made a lot of friends there. I also joined The Livingston Theatre Company when I got into Rutgers. All of those people were great. So from Junior year of high school on, I was less quiet. But I was never a clown.
Q: Is it better to be feared or loved on your way up the comedy ladder?
A: Loved. Absolutely. You never know what kind of great friends you can make on the way that can help you in comedy and in life.
Q: Your stardom: a karmic inevitability or old fashioned...
