" Catch-22′ is the big daddy of funny war novels. It’s capacious and occasionally rambling. It’s a bible of literate comedy: you can find anything you want inside – it’s all in there. " - Jesse Armstrong

" If I’m saying a universal truth, but maybe it’s something that people don’t feel comfortable saying… It’s a strange take, but at the same time, what you’re hitting on is kind of right. You can relate. That’s the heart of comedy. You have to have a point of view. You gotta commit. And the more you commit to it, sometimes the funnier it gets. " - Vince Vaughn

" When I used to see Rick Moranis do something, to me that was immediately funny. Or George Carlin or Martin Lawrence. " - Fred Armisen

" The show that first massively impacted on me was ‘Tiswas,’ with people like Lenny Henry, Chris Tarrant, John Gorman and the Phantom Flan Flinger. I loved that kind of surrealist, anarchic humour. " - Richard Herring

" I think Eddie Murphy is the greatest comedian. I do think that Richard Pryor is the Godfather, but Eddie Murphy, in my opinion, has every comedic category in his arsenal. He can roast you. He can freestyle. He can host. He was LeBron James before we even saw LeBron James. " - Lil Rel Howery

" Comedy is very tough to do, it never gets the awards but it’s the toughest task. " - Jitendra Kumar
