Comedy : (373) " There is a little bit of snobbery with casting, and unless you’re a really successful comedian like Ruth Jones, you don’t get to be in the drama side of things. " - Rhys Thomas " I like to describe my stuff as observational comedy. " - Lilly Singh " Because comedy is cheap to put on: if you’ve got a play or an opera, there’s a whole load of people and a set, but comedy is just one man or woman. And because TV has learned to love comics – there’s so many more around now than when I started out. " - Arthur Smith " I was always the class clown. " - Kel Mitchell " I think sometimes actors who have predominately done comedy get a little typecast by some people. " - Chris Chibnall " It doesn’t matter if I’m playing a lead role or that of a comedian; I want my audience to have entertainment worth their money. " - M. S. Narayana " I love ‘Monty Python,’ ‘Black Adder,’ ‘Fawlty Towers.’ I’m a huge fan of British comedy. " - Isla Fisher " You can’t deny the truth. And that’s what makes smart comedy so good. " - Iliza Shlesinger " ‘Old School’ is so breezy it could be a late-night talk show, especially when Craig Kilborn, of ‘The Late Late Show,’ sidles into camera range as a particularly loathsome competitor to Mitch. " - Elvis Mitchell " I’d love to do situation comedy – it’s the best job in show business. " - Patti LuPone
