What can you do if nobody is laughing?

When nobody's laughing, you just keep going. If a boxer's boxing and he's hit somebody with a left jab, he doesn't give up. You keep working. At the end of the day, it is work, it is a job. If it was a case of everyday you got up, and anything you said, everyone started laughing eventually, you'd get pretty bored because you'd start to question what you're really getting out of it. I'm pushing myself everytime I'm up on stage. I like to feel that I'm trying to take people to places they've never thought about. Stand up comedy is about a conversation with laughs along the way. It's not about people just hilariously falling all over the place for 20 minutes. Sometimes people are just interested in your journey as much as they are to know they're laughing. In a 20 minute or half an hour set, there have to be times where people aren't laughing.
