It's a really complicated lesson it's counterintuitive for a comedian. I basically started taking the jokes out, and the show got funnier.
More Quotes from Dave Gorman:
If a story is funny, and I made it up, then the big message is, Aren't I clever' ... If a story is funny and it actually happened, the big message is, Isn't the world funny' And actually I think that's a better message. I kind of want to think that about the world -- and it sounds less like boasting.Dave Gorman
I don't know about you, but the first thing I do when I'm supposed to write something, ... is to do everything else. If my house is tidy, it generally means I should be writing--and I'm not. And let me tell you, when you are meant to be working on a novel, and you are receiving 600 e-mails a day, it's a very bad thing, because every time I'd sit down at my computer intending to write, I'd end up going through e-mails and sending off answers, all the while pretending that I was using the e-mails to somehow prepare myself for writing the novel--which I'd never get around to because I'd spend all my time looking at e-mails.
