Confessions of a Failed Comic
If you examine the relationship between politics and stand-up comedy, the similarity is startling. In India, political decisions often lead to results which are a form of high comedy: what is real becomes comic. By contrast, in the US the comic stands on the new threshold for politics: the comic is often realized as politics. Did I tell you the one about the politician who went on an election campaign which became a stand-up comedy act when he was elected President?
I like humour; it makes me laugh. I mean look at me. When I was dating I always put in a line about my sense of humour. Women love that. I love women, from both sides. People really appreciate my lines; I always get a good laugh. You know why? Because I always write my own material. You can’t leave it to some hack. The thing about stand-up is that your own life experience is what counts. People know if you are lying or you are making up stuff. I have no problem with that. Humour helps you deal with pain and adversity and stuff like that. I remember last year when there was a famine in Nigeria or Nairobi or some place, and people were dying like flies, I spilled some orange juice in my Cadillac, it was pretty horrible, but I said to myself look at the bright side. It could have happened in the Rolls. So you gotta be grateful, otherwise life deals you a shitty hand. Speaking of deals, when I bought my first plane, I got the dealer – you know one of those coloured guys, I mean a guy with colour – to throw in a wiper for free…Hell, I said, what if it’s raining, and I have to go to Florida.
