Dick Clark – Quoted

2009-07-04Where in the world am I today?: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

“Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?”

Dick Clark, American Television/Radio Personality (1929 – )

Addendum…

“The truth is funny… No doubt about it. The trick it to take the truth and bending it a way that makes people see the funny.”

–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken

I think my training as a street performer has helped me point out the funny in situations that just pop up unexpectedly. Hopefully finding the funny in those otherwise awkward moments turns a potential disaster into gifts from the Comedy Gods!
