Comedy Quotes

I decided to do a comedy. It’s a good mind-set to go into work and be happy every day instead of being in a dark place Picture Quote #1

The Comedy Store in LA, it’s a really loose room and it’s really dark and creepy and a great place to explore your own thoughts onstage Picture Quote #1

Some people would say comedy draws from some dark places, from your dark stuff. Life’s great optimists aren’t necessarily the funniest people Picture Quote #1

I tend to find comedy in dark places. I also tend to find comedy in taking on the status quo - which has always been something I find important Picture Quote #1

First and foremost when you’re doing comedy, you gotta be relevant and applicable to the times that you’re living in. When you try and just do comedy about who is dating who and lifestyle jokes, it gets tiring after a while. It’s hard to be funny in that realm Picture Quote #1

I grew up loving David Letterman and Pee-wee Herman, but as far as live performance comedy, all I knew were the Jerry Seinfeld-type comedians of the world, and that’s what I thought live performance comedy was all about Picture Quote #1

I loved George Carlin and Dean Martin. I was one of those kids who had every comedy album Picture Quote #1

The original Dean Martin Comedy Hour handed me some hysterical sketches. I’ve got highlights on tons of these variety shows, given to me by their great writers. I’d love to be doing all that again Picture Quote #1

Next up [new TV stars] was [Dean] Martin and [Jerry] Lewis on ‘The Colgate Comedy Hour.’ Picture Quote #1

A comedy ends with a wedding, and a tragedy ends with a funeral: you always have to juxtapose sex and death Picture Quote #1

It’s funny: All my friends back home are always wondering why every television show I’m on is a drama, but all the comedy pilots I did died a slow and painful death Picture Quote #1

The basis of tragedy is man’s helplessness against disease, war and death; the basis of comedy is man’s helplessness against vanity (the vanity of love, greed, lust, power) Picture Quote #1

To all my soap fans out there, my horror fanatics, comedy lovers, I will tell you this: ‘Death Valley’ is an action-packed drama, comedic, horror TV series that has a non-stop adventure in each episode. It’s like a huge pot of Texas gumbo. If you like all four of those genres, then you’ll love this show Picture Quote #1

I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don’t realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side Picture Quote #1

$What helps you as an actor when it comes to roles is that deeper understanding of so many different fractions of humanity. Because oftentimes, even in comedy, there is conflict Picture Quote #1$

Doing drama is a very welcome departure from comedy. Although I love doing both, I like to change it up a bit once in a while with roles in serious drama Picture Quote #1

Obama was elected on a slogan of hope and change because both were in short supply: the military exhausted by two wars, the banks failing their public trust, the U.S. Congress a comedy of dysfunction, and a federal government that seemed designed to idle on the sidelines Picture Quote #1

I’m a black male, over 40, with no kids, living in the suburbs - they wanted to put me in a museum. Why did I move to the suburbs? I started watching Desperate Housewives. If comedy didn’t work out I can always try gardening Picture Quote #1

Please, please, please - I would love to do some comedy. Once you have a reputation for one thing - in my case, crying and dying - you are typecast Picture Quote #1

There are some die-hard ‘Chelsea Lately’ fans, and that’s where the majority of my fans come from. Chelsea is really helping make comedy audiences hipper and edgier Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I’m doing a big movie, or sometimes I’m doing a TV show, but as an actor, it’s almost the same thing for me. If I’m doing action, or comedy, or something more heartfelt, it’s a different approach, but it’s all acting for me Picture Quote #1

I love playing different characters and I love doing fun things and I love to entertain people, whether that be in a comedy or a drama. If I get you to laugh or I get you to cry I’m super stoked, as morbid as that might sound Picture Quote #1

Remember, we really grew up separately; our life experience was very different because of segregation. So I think comedy is a good space to work those things out and educate everyone about the different experiences and different race groups in South Africa Picture Quote #1

All the parts I get offered are character and comedy parts, and I probably wouldn’t get them if I had a different face. So I’m glad I have a comedy face Picture Quote #1

I am not sure gender ever won’t be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects Picture Quote #1

I love all kinds of movies. I love a really good comedy and not the cheesy ones. My parents hate this, but I love horror films. Those are my favorite, and of course, dramatic roles. I’m really drawn to those as well. All different genres Picture Quote #1

I do love comedy, I have to say. That’s one of the greatest things about being an actor: You get to try new things and play around in different genres Picture Quote #1

Stand-up can take you in so many different places, man. So many doors can be opened up from stand-up comedy, and the first one that was opened up for me was acting. But you can go from acting to being a TV personality to being a radio personality to being a writer to being a producer, to just being a visionary, to voiceover work Picture Quote #1

I was very young, and I kind of decided I wanted to do comedy. My parents were musicians, so we traveled on a tour bus. You’re in a different town every night; as a kid, you’re trying to make friends fast. You try to be funny Picture Quote #1

In a comedy, after the day is done, you can figure out ways of how to make it even funnier for the next day. In dramas, it’s very different - the mindset that you’re in Picture Quote #1
