    I usually write about things that make me frustrated or afraid, things I'm fascinated by. One thing I've been trying to write about is, I have a friend who's about my age who had a baby. I just couldn't imagine having a baby now. Why am I so scared about having a baby? Because I can do whatever I want right now. I don't want to say the joke, but it's hilarious stuff. Trust me.

    What is your best piece of advice for aspiring comedians?

    The quote Steve Martin used to give people: "Be undeniably good." It's about working hard, being patient and holding yourself up to such a high standard that when you reach it, people will have to take notice.
