I Think I'd Be A

Go Back And Read Sinclair Lewis - It Can't Happen Here Or Babbitt. For A Guy Or Girl Who's Going To Do An Hour Of Political Comedy, It Might Be A Little Rough, Sure. But I Think If You're Spending 10 Minutes Or Less, And You're Talking About - Not Necessarily [donald Trump] But His Supporters And The Media Coverage, There's All Kinds Of Angles To Explore. It Doesn't Just Have To Be Simply, "this Guy Is Crazy!" It's More About The Idea Of That Kind Of Guy Rising To The Prominence He Has, To Actually Become The Republican Candidate.

I Was Heavily Influenced By Andy Kaufman And Steven Wright.

I Grew Up In That Minority. I Grew Up In The South, In Roswell, Georgia, And It Was Heavily White, Baptist, Conservative. And The Idea That Somebody Would Come There And Say Those Things That I Said Created An Atmosphere Where Some People Would Walk Out, And Suddenly They Weren't In The Minority. For An Hour And A Half, They Were The Majority. So I Would Argue That It Does Need To Be Said.

Hopefully People Are Upset For The Reason I Want Them To Be Upset. Even When I Was Doing Open Mics, I've Always Had People Upset. I've Never Been The Consummate Crowd-pleaser.

I'm A Professional Comic. Whether You Think I'm Funny Or Not, That's, Again, Subjective.
