Chapter 7: What new projects is Denis Leary currently involved in?
You've got to do a long set.
Well, you know that feeling now. It's not so much nervous. It's just like at the ages that we're at, hopefully, it's more like the butterflies. Like, I want the show to start, right? Yeah. It's not panic. It's like, fuck, can't wait to get up there. Hope I remember this. You know what I mean?
Right. It's not like, oh, if I do well here, maybe I'll have a career. Exactly. Or, you know, I was bombed so hard. at the improv in hollywood yeah i went on an 805 you know i mean i mean death and i was killing in the clubs in the hinderland and then they said hey norman lear thought it was pretty funny i what the he was there you know what was that we're doing there i don't know he's dead
Well, this is a while back. We're not nervous in that sense that we're dancing for our donuts. We've had our careers and now we're continuing, which is another thing I wanted to ask you about.
Well, I can see it. I usually put a young or first time person for a gig that size on the Cam Neely thing in Boston, but also at the Michael J. Fox gig. Like, you know, there'll be a person there who's doing it for the first time, a young comp. And I can see the panic that we all used to have, right? So you go like, hey, man, it's going to be fine. It's a fucking charity, whatever.
You give them the heads up, right? So I understand that. I remember that. I mean, we all remember that.
i was doing one with billy crystal early 80s somehow i had the same manager and they got me on a little showtime special i had like two minutes andy coffin was the headliner i was panicked i had no business being on the show and billy crystal goes you got fin your face go outside and walk around get outside right now walk around You looked nervous.
He was really trying to help me, but I remember that. Did you go out and walk around? Didn't help at all. I completely bombed. What did you do? What material did you do? Oh, I did a Jacques Cousteau bit. Come on, we're going back.

Chapter 8: How does Denis Leary reflect on his career and success?
I faced the wall. But I did pretty well. So I went and I saw it and I couldn't do what he did, but I could do what Lenny Clark did. Because Lenny was like a regular guy off the street. Regular boss. And I fucking bombed. I must have bombed for fucking 10 weeks. And every time I bombed, there'd be like a tiny little laugh. I'd go, oh, that was a pretty good thing.
And then Lenny would go, hey, come back next week. He would just keep telling me to come back. And I would fucking bomb. But then there'd be like two bits. And so, like, either you love it or you don't.
When did you have your first one little line or one little attitude or one bit that was surefire? Like, oh, I can always lean on this. Everything else sucked.
Yeah, so I did, when I was in college, at Emerson College in Boston, a bunch of us formed a thing called the Emerson Comedy Workshop. And it was a theater group where we had to do original shows. We had to write all the material to get credit for it.
So one of the characters I eventually played in that while I was in college was a guy, everything was kind of behind a fourth wall because it was the theater. But there was one character I played, we called Bill, who was a really fucking angry guy. It was basically me.
It was a really angry guy who smoked and who just fucking talked to the audience, ranted and raved about the Kennedy assassination or whatever, right? He's literally like your parking meter guy, except it was me. So when Steve Wright was doing that thing, I was like, well, I'm just going to try to do that guy, right? That guy who was basically me. So everything wasn't working.
But then I wrote my, like the first smoking joke I wrote, which was my sister says, you know, these things are just a replacement because my mom didn't breastfeed me long enough. And I was like, hey, if I could buy a pack of tits, I would. That was the first.
Pack of tits. Yeah, pack of tits is a great word package. So that was the beginning.
That was the first joke where I went like, oh, fuck.
