Just watching people who come from a stand-up background is different from watching people who come from an improv or sketch background.
Many of the people I've worked with over the years came from a sketch-comedy background or an improv background, and I've learned a lot from them.
We come from a live background of sketch improv and standup.
I have the improv background, but stand-up is different.
I think, coming from an improv/sketch background, I'm just used to having people around me to feed off of and support.
I've been working my way to doing my first feature film for about ten years. So I went through the commercials route and some people come from a theatrical background and some people come from a writing background, but I directed commercials
I don't come from a comedy background or a stand-up background, but I think that sometimes there's a misconception that an actor who works primarily in comedy is a comedian. There's nothing wrong with being a comedian, but I'm absolutely not that. I can't think of anything more terrifying than doing stand-up!
At this point, I feel fairly comfortable in terms of performance. I think having a sketch background actually helps a lot. Because my background is acting, and stand-up, in a lot of ways, is acting.
The way that I opened the door for the young people that come from where I come from and that have a different background, that is what I want to be remembered for.
I come from a very sporty background because my mom is a gymnastics teacher. So growing up I was never sitting watching TV in the afternoons. I always played ball outside in the backyard.
Maybe it's just my improv and sketch background, but I'm a lot more comfortable in a group. I like sharing focus and populating an ensemble.
I don't come from a theatrical background, but my mum and dad had fantastic taste in cinema and TV and I loved watching what they watched.
Some people think success is overnight. I suppose, considering I came from Australia, it has been pretty quick. But I have a background in stand-up and improv, so I've really had to prove myself.
I come from a prose background. I come from short story background, and that led me into novels.
I don't have any type of sketch-comedy or stand-up background.
You know, people come up to me saying, 'Watching you gave me the courage to come out to my parents,' or, 'I watched you and I decided to start doing drag,' or, people will just come up and say, 'It's you.' Like they can't even form sentences because they're crying because they're seeing someone they admired on television.
I come from a background where I like collaboration and improv. I think that it is important.
