It has been a wonderful life for me. It's just been a blessing. I can't say I would have done it any other way. I have no regrets. I like... →

I'm an orator, a raconteur.
Fortunately for me, or unfortunately, they made me an editor of the Parish Prison Pelican. I could read and write, and I had a way with words.
I have a routine I go through on the days that I work, and I don't want to divert from that.
I'm a storyteller. I'm not like any other comic. I tell detailed stories - not made-up stuff, but true stories.
I came to Vegas because I wanted to, not because I thought it could help my career. I didn't even know they had comedy clubs here.
I look at things logically. The humor I do is to go from A to B to C to D, and F is the funny.
I prefer to have one gigantic laugh preceded by several smaller laughs rather than a bunch of medium laughs all along.
I always wanted to be a comedian, but I wasn't sure how you do that.
I can't write a joke. I could never write. I do a lot of stories and I call them stories, but they're just comedy recitals on a given subject.
I didn't get rich and famous, but I do what I love.
I only have eight jokes, but I can do 'em over a two-hour period of time.
