Quotes About Comedy

What was it about the I'll kill the bitch guy that cracked our audience up so much? Simple, everyone in the theatre had seen that guy before. I had seen that guy.

It is quite possible for the vulgar to be funny, but to succeed, it must rise to a certain genius.

Comedy in the past hasn't spoken to women because it wasn't written by women, and male writers don't make women three-dimensional characters.
