I Chewed Up A Lot

You Know, I'm Playing The Mirage In Vegas, The Main Room... About 5 Percent Of All Comics End Up As The Main Headliner On The Vegas Strip, So That's A Big Deal For Me. Getting To Do My Stand-up The Way I Have This Summer Is Really What I've Dreamed Of Since I Was About 10 Years Old.

I Have Been A Big Guy All My Life, I Am Not Going To Lose A Bunch Of Weight, Because Then You're Like That Weird Fat Person That Got Skinny But Still Has A Big Head. I Don't Want To Do That. So I'm Just Trying.

You Start Realizing That Maybe You're The One Night A Month That People Have Out, And They Don't Need To Hear Your Political Views Or How Dark You Can Get. They Just Want To Laugh For An Hour And Go Home. Once I Wrapped My Head Around That, My Act Evolved Accordingly.

I Come From A Working-class Family In Pittsburgh, Whereas 'mike & Molly' Deals With The Working Class In Chicago. I Swear A Little, But I Pretty Much Talk The Same. It's Not Like When You See Someone Like Tim Allen And He's A Lot Bluer Onstage.

I Chewed Up A Lot Of Florida Highway When I Was Starting Out. Used To Come To Tampa Two Or Three Times A Year For About 10 Years Straight.
