What’s more important than making a crowd laugh is to make the lady at the ticket counter at the airline laugh when the flight’s oversold, cancelled or the weather’s bad. If you can make her laugh when everyone else is giving her shit, it’s way more satisfying.
Not at all [in the US]. I think the television has made the United States into one big town. I’ve noticed it’s different in different countries, though. Like, Canada laughs a little bit more. I don’t know why. I’ve done specials in Canada for that reason. And England, they love the surrealism. They had Monty Python, of course, so they have that sensibility.
