You have to be delusional to be a comedian. — © Mike Birbiglia
You have to be delusional to be a comedian.
I know I am delusional at times, but I'm not completely-out-of-touch delusional.
Optimism may sometimes be delusional, but pessimism is always delusional.
I see myself as a comedian rather than a female comedian. I happen to be a woman, but I am a comedian by trade.
I am a comedian but it's usually not a compliment to be called a prop comedian but I guess I sometimes use props. And I always confuse humorist with comedian. That's strange.

You have to believe in yourself. But you know what? There's a fine line between believing in yourself and being delusional. And I'm sure there were a lot of people who thought I was being delusional when they saw me attempting to become a big shot in the world of pro wrestling. Luckily, it worked out: it doesn't work out for that many people.
I get very confused about being called a comedian, because when you say 'I'm a comedian,' people expect you to crack a joke. Maybe I use laughter and humour to make people think. I don't know what you call that - a humourist? A satirist? A pessimistic comedian? I don't know. Satirists can be very dark.
Harold Lloyd was not a comedian. But he was the finest actor to play a comedian that I ever saw.
I told them I wanted to be a comedian, and they laughed; I became a comedian, no one's laughing now
For a comedian, there is nothing better than watching another great comedian.
A comedian's a comedian. They're a very kind of cynical bunch. I guess that's why I like them.
You know, a comedian's comedian is just that - it's a guy who's original and funny and can make comics laugh.
I would have liked to be a comedian in the '20s, or maybe even a comedian on the Mayflower and have a statue somewhere.
