Interview: You Owe Daniel Tosh Money
Via Dead-Frog comes an interview by Jake Klocksien with Daniel Tosh, whose first Comedy Central Presents just aired on Sunday. Here's a little:
Nearly all stand-up comedians have
horror stories when they talk about the first time they performed in
front of an audience. Was your first set any different?DANIEL TOSH:
I had a 17 minute standing ovation after my first set. Ok, what really
happened was that I looked in an Orlando newspaper when I was 19, found
an open-mic night. I just assumed it was for comedy, turns out it was
for music. They said "Sure you can do stand-up." It was also a contest,
so I had to pay $10 and the audience, which was the people eating in
the restaurant that night would judge it. After my second joke I was
getting rim shots from the drummer who was setting up. I didn't stick
around but I assume I won, so if you ran that room and are reading
this, send me my f*cking $80 first prize, a**hole!
