And I became in really good shape.
I was doing trapeze, I was doing tumbling, I was thinking a lot about comedy.
And I realized during that, that whenever there was a laugh to get,
I would get it verbally, which of course was useless in the circus because when you're playing for 20,000 people in a stadium, I mean, that's the purpose of the makeup.
