As a standup, I try to change the world. As an entertainer, I try to entertain. And as a lesbian, I try to pick up the prettiest girl in the room.
Lea DeLaria

Hopefully standup will become special again.
Marc Maron

I had a great time on News Radio, I got to make tons of money in relative obscurity and learn a lot about the TV biz and work on my standup act constantly. It was a dream gig.
Joe Rogan

I had never done a roast, but I really wanted to, because it's so different from standup.
Dane Cook

I love standup and I haven't given it up.
Ray Romano

I really never had any ambitions to be a standup comic. I was talked into it by guys that I used to work out with.
Joe Rogan

I started out with comedy in college, but had my major in Recreation Administration - which meant I wasn't going to get a real job - so I started doing a little standup.
Carlos Alazraqui

I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired.
Marc Maron

I will always love to perform standup comedy.
Shelley Berman

I would call it a comedy variety show. We have some people just doing straight standup. We usually try to have one musical act of sort. So its just people being funny in different ways, not just sketch, not just standup, not just characters, all of those things.
Todd Barry

I wouldn't call myself a standup in the presence of Jerry Seinfeld or Chris Rock, but I do my share of it and it has been and remains part of my activity and I like it.
Alan Thicke

I'd like to go back to standup. I don't like to think I've done my last gig. At the moment it terrifies me, I get really nervous. It's a great buzz when it goes well.
Mackenzie Crook

I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.
Ana Gasteyer

I'm not a standup. I don't really have jokes. I don't have 10 minutes. It took a while for me to realize this.
Julia Sweeney

If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie?
Howie Mandel

It may have lost its special-ness forever and the clubs might not being doing well but I think standup is in the best shape it has been in a long time.
Marc Maron

NBC anchor Brian Williams is a standup comic in disguise.
Leonard Maltin

People would say, Can we develop a sitcom around you? and I would say, Not interested. I'm very happy doing standup and writing and taking my kids to school.
Jeff Foxworthy

The demand for standup in the eighties was created by how easy it was to exploit 'comedians' and create very cheap television programming.
Marc Maron

The misconception is that standup comics are always on. I don't know any really funny comics that are annoying and constantly trying to be funny all the time.
Joe Rogan
