While awaiting sentencing, I decided to give stand-up comedy a shot. The judge had suggested I get my act together, and I took him seriously. - Tim Allen I'm a stand-up comic. Anything else I do besides that is a plus, but stand-up comedy is what I do, it's what I've been doing and it's what I'm going to keep doing. - Dave Attell I will always love to perform standup comedy. - Shelley Berman Unquestionably, standup comedy is and has always been an art form. - Shelley Berman I never wanted to be a model. I never wanted to be a serious actress. I started off doing comedy. I did a stand-up comedy camp at the Laugh Factory, and I started out on Nickelodeon. - Amanda Bynes This is my chance to get out there and appease the fans of my music as well as show people that I do do standup comedy because a lot of people don't know that's where I started. - Nick Cannon I can do more than just stand-up comedy, and the only way I'll be able to show that is if I ...

I think that no matter how much you don't like yourself or the drama of your life you can still find some comedy in it. - Tommy Lee Jones Please, please, please - I would love to do some comedy. Once you have a reputation for one thing - in my case, crying and dying - you are typecast. - Emily Watson My parents are desperate, they keep saying: 'Please stop doing these angsty roles; make it easier for us.' So, yeah, I'd love to do some comedy. - Ruth Wilson

His (Islamic astronomer al-Farghani) legacy also endures through the Italian writer and poet Dante (1265-1321), who derived most of the astronomical knowledge he included in his DIVINE COMEDY from the writings of al-Farghani (whom he referred to by his Latin name, Alfraganus). - Jim Al Khalili We're taking part in a divine comedy and we should realise that the play is always a comedy, in that we're all ultimately ridiculous. - Max Hastings Strangely, Dante's Divine Comedy did not produce a prose of that creative height or it did so after centuries. - Eugenio Montale This was part of the divine comedy-God's sense of humor undergirding the inner workings of the universe. Sinners participated in the redemption of other sinners; faith, hope and charity triumphed over disbelief, despair, and hatred, while the One who called all creatures to Himself watched and smiled. - Sylvain Reynard

A great production of a black comedy is better than a mediocre production of a comedy of errors. - Tom Stoppard I want to tell the story. Mostly, when you see rock movies, it has to be this over-the-top thing. I want to give people a Bret Michaels movie where they see that my life is a comedy of errors. I also want to show my fans how to get through the kind of troubles that would leave most people flat on the floor. - Bret Michaels

The one that was most fun was That's My Bush; the part that I did for Comedy Central. That was a hoot. That was more fun that one should be allowed to have. - Timothy Bottoms I hate being mean. I watch those roasts on Comedy Central and they make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. - Julie Brown I'm also doing a special for Comedy Central called Autobiography. It's going to be a spoof of Biography. - Kathy Griffin There was so long from when we did the pilot and then when the show was eventually picked up by Comedy Central - and, in fact, we had to shoot the pilot twice. - Thomas Lennon It's funny because I think a lot of it is simply... We've never considered ourselves satirists, but because we're on Comedy Central and because we're South Park on Comedy Central, we can do any topic we want. - Trey Parker Honestly we never lied to people about who we were. Usually the wackier interviews came to pass because the interview subjects, aware that we w...
