What roles can you combine with being a stand-up?

Loads, man. You've got to remember that the stand-ups of today, in the year 2000, write their own material; or, we're supposed to write our own material, is the best way to put that. Therefore, straight away, what you've got is a writer. So, stand-ups can go into writing. Stand-ups can go into acting. I think a stand-up is more than capable of doing anything in the arts. We're so used to not working with the fourth wall (i.e. just working towards a script) and improvising with the audience that's in front of us. That, a lot of times, sometimes, can become a benefit to directors who could be directing you because you could take them down a different angle. A lot of times, it's a bit of a frustration because we do lack discipline in terms of structure, because, like I said, we don't work to the fourth wall, we work to what we feel. So, if something isn't working, we would more than likely divert and go elsewhere. However, if you're acting, you're meant to stay in that role. A lot of comedians can act, whereas a lot of actors cannot become comedians.
