Dulcé Sloan

Because that class clown kid, I hated that class clown kid.

I was like, I don't know what's going on at his house, but he needs his attention.

I looked at one dude, I was like, please take the theater class.

He's like, why?

I said, you need somebody to look at you.

And I had to be like 14.

Please go to theater or chorus or something because you're interrupting my education.

I don't understand this math at all.

And you trying to be funny is not fucking helping.

Please, please go take a theater class.

Otherwise, you're gonna keep getting in trouble and getting kicked out of school.

And I'm not gonna be able to learn this algebra.

You're fucking up everybody's day.

Well, when I started doing stand-up, I took that six-week stand-up class.

And so at the graduation, because here's the thing, I knew how to tell a funny story.

So I knew what a punchline was, and I kind of understand what the premise of a setup was.

Right.

So I was able to use that to my advantage.

And then so I already had like a presence on stage just in general.

So I don't have to say anything, but I can fill up a stage.
