But then again, exactly right.

I was like, whenever I would do Shakespeare, I didn't notice this until later on.

that I was just always playing jackasses.

I was always playing the clowns or the fools.

People, douches, yeah, people that would trip over stuff.

So it was kind of in the cards for me.

I realized the one thing I wasn't good at was auditioning, right?

It was one thing we weren't taught.

And so I just went out on every single audition I could to get better at it.

And this was 30 years ago in New York.

And I auditioned for a sketch group and got it.

And that was sort of my first foray into comedy.

I did everything.

I would audition for things that were asking for black disabled women.

Absolutely anything, right?

Just for the practice of it.

And I would get some crappy things.

I started booking stuff and the sketch group was one of them.

And it wasn't a good sketch group by any means, but then I found the UCB and blah, blah, blah, all went from there.

Well, I always wanted to be a writer, but I didn't really know how to do that, you know, because growing up, you're taught how to do certain things.
