Comedy is a noble art. And every comedian who does anything is serving a noble purpose.
As a comedian you are making yourself vulnerable in order to make others happy.
Comedians and people in general have a cultural right to talk about their own culture and race.
One of my first jobs was on a lesbian cruise. I was the ship comedian for the Lesbian Love Boat.
I'm very much a stand-up comedian in my heart. That's really what I do. Now I'm trying to incorporate all of the different elements of my work as a performer, and use it as a stand-up comedian.
I became a comedian because I didn't want to be bullied anymore. Onstage I was safe.
