We are
living in the machine age. For the first time in
history the comedian has been compelled to supply
himself with jokes and comedy material to compete
with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the
comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion.
-- Fred A. Allen
1894-1957, American
Radio Comic
While
awaiting sentencing, I decided to give stand-up
comedy a shot. The judge had suggested I get my act
together, and I took him seriously.

Comedy
just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them
squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and
potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like
meringue.

I
think being funny is not anyone's first choice.
