Eddie Brill

Eddie, how are you doing today, brother? All right. You know, long intros are fun because you have to get through them. You know what I mean? They're lovely. You know, I'll tell you an interesting story right off the bat. In America, we do intros, and it's very important. When I first went to London the very first time to do stand-up, I think it was 1989, Um, that era.

And, uh, I told the MC, my intro gave it to him and they looked at me like really not very happy over it. And he, when they brought me up without saying anything, you know, just Eddie Brill. And luckily the, it went well, you know, it was good. And I got to be friendly with him. And I said, why were you so mean to me that first night? He said, because you were, came up to me. I never met you.

And you bragged to me about your career. And I went, I wasn't bragging about my career. I was giving you my intro. He said, intro. Why would you do an intro? If you're funny, the audience will laugh. And, you know, you could give have all the credits in the world.

And, you know, he said, you know, just as well as I, there are a lot of people who are not that talented, who get big TV shows or work in theaters. So your intro doesn't mean anything. It's who you are on stage that really makes the difference. And I really like that a lot.

And it doesn't mean you didn't do it. Like, you know, people will say to have said to me, hey, you know, I have this comedian. It's another Chris Rock. And I said, well, you know what you're saying? I should book Chris Rock. Because why would I want another Chris Rock? I want each person to be their authentic self. It's interesting.

And one of the things I realized at the time also was how much we pander to the crowds in America. Like, hey, give yourselves a round of applause for coming out tonight. And why would I applaud going out tonight? I've done it before. I'm very good at it. It's just you're BSing the audience into making noise for you instead of creating it yourself with your talent. It's very interesting.
