I still enjoy the heck out of getting up there to play shows every night.
The reward is every night. The 90 minutes is such a payoff for us every night; it makes it all worth it to us. The fans who come to the shows know how much we enjoy this.
When I'm not filming anything or on the road doing stand-up, I'm usually doing stand-up shows every night - usually a few shows a night at different clubs in the city.
To me, getting up every single night and trying to reach out to an audience, and trying to dig deeper and further in the play to serve the writer and to understand yourself in that context is how you continue to grow and learn.
I really enjoy getting to go and play on other people's shows for an episode or two. It adds such variety to my repertoire.
I'm just trying to enjoy the heck out of each of my moments and find little things about every day that make me feel good.
Football is my profession now. I'm getting married in August... It's a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had. I play hard. I enjoy practice. I'd rather be throwing in passing drills than sitting around and watching TV.
I've been driving in the city for years because, as a stand-up in N.Y.C., you can perform at more comedy clubs a night if you have a car. Getting from club to club by subway is too slow at night and too expensive by cab. So, many comics live far out from Manhattan and drive in every night.
Like I said, when you have to play against a great player every night, that defines who you are if you can compete on that same level night in and night out.
Every season is so much different and you go through your ups and downs, you figure your team out, you get to play against great teams. Some of the best competition there's been since I've been in the league. Just every night, night in and night out we get to play against the top guys, the top teams. It's a lot of fun.
It's frustrating and difficult to go out there every night as an underdog, knowing you're probably going to lose, knowing you still have to play hard to prove yourself to your teammates, coaches and higher-ups that you're still valuable.
This was a no-brainer, ... When it came down to it, I said to myself, Hey, you can still play, you can still play at a high level and you still enjoy playing. Why not play?
I enjoy getting gussied up for an event or date night.
I still like to think I have a pretty good laugh with the other guys in the dressing room and still enjoy a beer and the odd night out.
I have to be out there to sell these fights; it's not because I really enjoy getting made up and going to work every day. It's cool, it's an awesome job, but it's still a job. I'm doing it because it helps me make a living and not because I'm so extremely vain that I want to see my face everywhere.
It's awesome to play 1 1/2 -hour shows because it's so much fun, and we enjoy every single minute of it.
I still play solo shows. And some of those shows are still some of the best, most gratifying shows.
