I Really Like Rustic Mediterranean

Mmmm... The Comedy That Matters Is The Comedy You Pull Out Of Thin Air. It's A Bit Like When Something Funny Has Happened And You Try To Explain It To Someone Else And End Up Saying, 'you Had To Be There'.

I Had A Longing For Ritual, Something I Could Cling To, A Routine To Make Me Feel Well And Contented. I Hoped That Reading Bible Commentaries And Theological Critiques Would Nudge Me Closer To Some Kind Of Absolute That I Could Hold Up As A Torch To Light My Way.

One Saturday In 1984, I Walked Into My First Aa Meeting. I Went Regularly For Six Years And Only Stopped When I Came To Realize My Underlying Problem Was Not Genuine Alcoholism, But Depression.

The Jokes Are Great But What Really Matters For A Comedian Is His Performance, His Whole Attitude, And The Laughs That He Gets Between The Jokes Rather Than On Top Of The Jokes.

I Have Had Issues With Depression All My Life, And It's Probably True To Say There Was A Tendency Towards It Even When I Was Very Young, During My Schooldays. There Was Often - And This Is Quite Common With Comics - A Sense Of Not Feeling As If I Belonged Anywhere.
