People basically aren't that racist. They want their laughs. If I make a white guy laugh, he's gonna come see me. He's not gonna go see the white guy who doesn't make him laugh just because that guy is white.
The thing about having an audience right there laughing is that critics can write what they want, but the proof is right there in front of you.
I'm pretty good at getting over people throwing stuff at me. If you've been doing stand up long enough you know how to swing back and get the laughs.
There are a lot of good comics, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, I think what you have is a bunch of situational comics - there are black comics that work only black crowds, gay comics that do only gay crowds, and southern comics that only work down South, and so on with Asian, Latino, Indian, midgets, etc. The previous generation's comics were better because they had to make everybody laugh.
People are the same wherever you go. And if they weren't, they wouldn't laugh at the same s**t.
You don't need a critic to tell you people aren't laughing.
The two best things you can do for a person is have sex or make them laugh.
You can't have a laugh track that sort of tells the audience when to laugh and, you know, it's difficult to find those moments.
Lexicon grabbed me with the opening lines, and never let go. An absolutely thrilling story, featuring an array of compelling characters in an eerily credible parallel society, punctuated by bouts of laugh-out-loud humor.
I understand what my gift is, which is making people laugh, hopefully. It's more on that level. I don't need to be a leading man, I'm fine with that.
There's a lot of laughing on a horror movie set. They're magical in that way.
Trying to make strangers laugh is crazy and more than a little narcissistic.
When you try to go back and watch improv on tape, it almost never feels as good as it did when a crowd was laughing at it.
I really loved working on comedy. Most of my roles have been very dramatic and involved lots of emotional work and crying on cue. I do really enjoy those roles because you really feel accomplished at the end of the day but they are very emotionally draining! Working on a comedy show is just fun and at the end everyone is laughing! But I am open to all roles and genres just being on a set and being a part of the magic is what I love most!
I was able to work with some really talented funny people! I was a fan of both Max Greenfield and Jake Johnson before being on the show and it was amazing working with them! My main scene was with Max and we did so many takes with different reactions. He is so funny! After ever take everyone was laughing so hard!
Somebody told me once I wasn't Latin enough, and that made me laugh
I just went into this business for laughs. I guess I don't mind being an actor so much now.
I suddenly leaned forward,bringing my face close to hers.catching her breath,stifling that laugh and pink tongue,she watched me wide-eyed.I removed the wallet from my back pocket and sat down casually again. "What happened?" I asked idly. "I thought...never mind".She blinked. Ha,gotcha
I laugh a lot and count my blessings.
I wanted to be a comedian, I wanted people to laugh at what I was saying, not to be staring at my boobs or wearing a skirt and show off my ... I just didn't think that that was the best way to get taken seriously in that world.
I like to laugh. It's kind of escapism. I like to make people laugh. And I kind of like people just to have to not think about anything
I'm always happy to pitch in and do something. Everybody needs to be laughing a little.
Good Luck Chuck, a comedy starring Dane Cook and Jessica Alba, opened today, and critics are saying it has all the belly laughs you’ve come to expect from Jessica Alba.
I do a little improv in my shows. Kind of like our movie, I'll do beats and ideas of dialogue, but I think there's less pressure because it's a live show. If you mess up, the audience laughs because we don't really know what we're doing. But as far as shooting, that was very scary, trying to make a point and drive the film. It definitely helped improvising.
That'd be good. That'd be a right good laugh, man. Ye cannae catch me shuttin' up, man
