" - David Baddiel " I love doing horror with comedy twists and I think it’s a really fun genre. " - Katrina Bowden " Like everybody, I started out doing ‘bringer’ shows – the kind where if you show up with a certain number of people, you get to perform. Sometimes I would actually pay strangers off the street to come in and see my set. " - Tony Rock " I love television; I specifically love having a dumb character on a TV show. " - Bill Lawrence " Light, trivial comedy does not appeal – it is not something I go to see. " - Richard C. Armitage " I don’t consider myself a political comedian because it’s so hard. It takes time away from me saying terrible things about TV. " - Andy Kindler " What I learned, a little too late, was that the ‘traditional’ Martin Short target viewer weighs under 300 pounds. Unfortunately, I was on during daytime. " - Martin Short " A stand-up comedian will never be the life of a party. Instead, he will be the guy who is standing at a corner and observing people. " - Vir Das " I tend to gravitate towards sitcoms more and documentaries. " - Gareth Evans " Comedy has always been important in my family. If you got in a good joke at the dinner table, it meant more than almost anything else. " - Isla Fisher
