BRAD WILLIAMSNow, I’ve gotten to the point in my career, I’m 13 years in, to where I know that I’m funny. I know that I’m good at this.
BRAD WILLIAMSI’m in awe of comedians that do things that I can’t do, whether it be a one-liner comic like Anthony Jeselnik, whether it be social issues commentary, whether it be – hell, Carrot Top. I can’t be Carrot Top. I can’t.
BRAD WILLIAMSThere are things that I won’t joke about, but it’s not because I don’t think they’re funny or they can’t be made funny. It’s just that they don’t fit my particular skill set.
BRAD WILLIAMSIn every other aspect of their life, we have entertainment that is crafted almost to an individual. So they expect that from stand-up as well.
BRAD WILLIAMSPeople ask me a lot like, “Hey, so when are you done with your tour?” Like when I die. That’s when I’m done with my tour.
BRAD WILLIAMSComedian makes the statement that just isn’t true.
BRAD WILLIAMSI try not to be hateful.
BRAD WILLIAMSI hate that when people are like, “Well, all dwarves know each other, right?” And you want to get mad, but you can’t because we do.
BRAD WILLIAMSEveryone just wants to hear the exact jokes that apply to them and want to – everyone wants a perfectly crafted joke for them.
BRAD WILLIAMSIt’s very confusing to me why people take comedians so seriously.
BRAD WILLIAMSI don’t know why you’d go to a comedian and say, “You know what? You have a large menu of items, but this one thing I did not like and therefore, you should be shut down. You should cease to make a living and you should be thrown out in the streets.”
BRAD WILLIAMSEvery now and then you’ll say something that didn’t quite work. But the important thing is, as a comic, you try to learn why it didn’t. And then you adjust and figure out how to either make it work or just abandon it because it’s just not funny.
BRAD WILLIAMSI was always the funny guy. Everyone wants to hang out with the funny guy.
BRAD WILLIAMSIt’s weird when people ask me, “Why are you so nice?” It’s like, “Because that’s just what you should do. You should be kind to people.” It seems really basic, but it’s amazing how many people forget that.
BRAD WILLIAMSThat is the most confusing and insane thing to me, when people get offended on behalf of another group.
BRAD WILLIAMSWhen a soldier of the night’s watch dies they say, “And now his watch is over.” That’s what they say when a comedian dies. They go, “And now his tour is done.”
