Jimmy Dore: Its just that thing that we’re doing is very… in the words of Jerry Seinfeld, “It’s amazingly delicate.” People have no idea how delicate comedy is, or even just performing. You know, and to do it at a certain level. You know it’s not just about doing it, we want to do it at a certain level… and the little things that can screw it up. And I don’t think its being a diva. Instead, comedians have such a trial-by-fire… we have everything thrown at us.
Jimmy Pardo: Everything is by fire.
JD: Yeah, everything. My wife Stef (Zamorano), who comes from the sketch world – she was at Acme, and when she comes to some gigs, stand up gigs, her mind is blown at how people act… there’s no reverence for the stage. There’s, you know, people on stage taking pictures before the show, or that kind of shit. Its not like Bill Cosby is going to sit down on the chair and everybody is going to….
JP: No, you’re right. “Hey its your birthday, get up there and take a picture.”
JD: And they’ll come up to you, “Could you fuck with…” This isn’t a carnival. This isn’t a side show. But people think that. Because when comedy is done well it looks effortless.
