Having a break from comedy is quite good. — © Bill Bailey
Having a break from comedy is quite good.
It's very hard to find a good comedy. I prefer doing comedy far over anything else because I think they're actually more profound. But finding a good one and a great ensemble is very difficult to do and I'm delighted that in these particular times there is so much interest in comedy and that comedy is having so much success.
My intent when I moved to L.A. was to get in good with the comedy clubs and, eventually, try to break into Comedy Central and have my half hour special.
I have, for a few years, been writing comedy prose - short pieces for my blog - because I found it to be a good way to write while I was on a TV show. It was different enough from my scripts that it felt like a break, but it still was comedy and very fun. I like to do comedy!
Ironically, there isn't much comedy film in Britain, which is quite surprising seeing that we're quite good at it.
At those times I got into... I suppose you call it a rut. I used to do comedy, comedy, comedy and I suddenly thought I ought to break away from this somehow.
I just like comedy in general. My film work, which has been at times more dramatic, has been satisfying. But I never feel quite as good and as light and blissful as when I'm doing comedy.
I become quite inhibited particularly when I do comedy, I won't - there's a whole thing of allowing an audience in and if you - if you cover yourself with a mask of, kind of, severity, which I'm quite good at doing, that's masking fear of course, then people feel shut out.
We grew up with break-dancing and MCing, the old school, that whole era of just having a good time and knowing that the music was good.
I am reasonably nice-looking and have quite an expressive face, which is good for comedy.
I have discovered the virtue of patience and I don't quite believe that taking a break for good reason can be a risk.
I think because of the Internet I was able to study comedy from quite a young age and watch a lot of comedy.
I don't really know how to act that much. I'm quite good at comedy, but it's mostly acting naturally.
I am a huge believer - I always have been - in the power of comedy. That comedy will break hatred and will bring understanding.
I think women are different, and I think having them in the room is crucial to a family comedy, ensemble comedy, television comedy, where half the eyeballs on your show are women.
I think, in general, when you're doing comedy, you're having a good time regardless of the comedy table tennis that you're playing. I think you want that, too: you're rooting for two characters to be together, and you should feel that even when they're angry at each other, they're still in synch with each other.
I love good comedy. I don't like bad comedy. Of course, nobody loves bad comedy, but there's a lot of bad comedy out there.
