Ricky Gervais

And the letter started, Dear Mr. Gervais, I am a brilliant actor.

Yeah, desperation's funny. Anger's funny. People with no sense of humor is funny. People with no sense of humor is funny. The best.

So the fact that you're able to make people, you know, double over... Well, that's very interesting because I don't think you need... Stand-up's slightly different. Stand-up is slightly different to fiction in the sense that when you do a sitcom or a film or whatever...

You do your best and you try and make the plot work and the characters work and you do all that and then you put it out there and there's nothing you can do about it. With stand-up, you do it every night and the audience, it's more like evolution by natural selection because they choose the bits for you. It's more like a science because it either works or it doesn't.

And by the end, you've got a perfect thing that works every night to everyone around the world because it's tried and tested. They've chosen it for you. So that's slightly different. So what you don't want with stand-up is an audience to feel sorry for you because you haven't got time. You don't want that. No, you don't want that. No, because it's the purest desire.

Because jokes are more of an intellectual pursuit. You don't really need a context for jokes. Again, because they work or they don't. A joke can sort of work on the page. You can read a joke and it still works. You don't need someone telling it. Obviously, you add to that. I think my favorite stand-ups do add to that. They've got a context. They build character.

Yeah. Props in a bag.

Yeah. Props in a bag.

Well, that's just because it's another character and you commit to it. And that evolves as well.
