"I love bad comedy more than I love good comedy, so I love open mics. Or I used to.

The prop is always produced very awkwardly, and it never, ever pays off. The resulting embarrassment is savory and delicious."

“It isn't something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are 'marked' with a certain strange feature, and that is: We want to change.”
