Ray Romano pauses during his new special show dedicated to the comedy "Net Here, Around the Corner".Netflix
Ray Romano may not have recorded a special comedy for 23 years, but he wants you to know that he has never stopped acting as an actor, whether or not he participates in a quick show in Las Vegas. goes to a small club in New York. Not only that, but he has never stopped loving the art, even though his acting work includes Everyone loves Raymond, have earned him such critical and financial success.
Of course, he is best known for his acting acting over the past two decades. And of course, most of his current projects are dramas, as Get Shorty and Paddleton. But the 61-year-old artist is still wearing a ragged notebook with him when he discovers the germ of a very good joke.
Just like his first special comedy of one hour, Right here, at the corner of the streetA preview on Netflix this week, Ray Romano told us how he wrote his jokes, his worst bomb of all time and his first and true love of comedy standing.
Forbes: What about having done a special after so many years?
Romano: I have never stopped doing stand-up. I do not do it as much, but I have always done it and I will continue to do it. I do not work in stand-up and I do not earn a living on stand-up, but I always do it.
I go to Vegas and play there. When I am the city, I continue. I had an offer to do a special, so I said, Let's do it. I just thought, Why not? It's time. I'm at the moment when, when I'm doing a show, the audience is always jazzed and excited – it will not be forever. I thought it would be nice to have it.
Although I have to find new material now. I will have to remove everything. I do not expect that. But I just knew the time had come for me to do it.
You have worked standing throughout your acting career, but you are obviously not obliged to do it for money. Is it a pbadion?
It's a thrill. That's the reason an artist plays. If you put a gun to my head and say: Are you a stand-up or an actor? I would say I'm a stand-up and then I'm shooting. I am a stand-up. I am a professional and I am also an actor, but I still have a lot to learn and achieve as an actor. But stand-up is a joy to do and it's a great pleasure to create and write documents. It has not disappeared. There are people who, when they enter the acting game, retire. I never had this thought. Never.
Much of your new special looks personal – & nbsp; what does your stand-up comedy writing process look like?
Oh man. For most, it's something that's happening in my life. My wife will say something, my child will do something. It may be a bit funny, or maybe not at all, but I think it might be funny if I told you about it. I will write it at the end of my book. & Nbsp;
For example, I went to the movie Everest, and Josh Brolin said, when they were about to climb the mountain. Everest, "Guys, I feel guilty, I forgot to tell my wife I was doing it." So, I'm writing this, because it's so weird, and it stays in my book for a moment . And there's a joke about it in the special.
When I have an appointment for the stand-up, or if I am in LA and want to go to the club to solve problems, I will look at my book and do it out loud. Nine things you say suck, and one thing you say is something, and then you write this down. Then you do it on stage.
The best is not to prepare the word for word on stage. Just have a preview and let it go. Sometimes you are inspired right now. If that makes you laugh, you watch your tape. If that makes you laugh, you write the exact text of the tape. If it does not make you laugh, or if you do not care, you think, & nbsp;maybe I can do it in another way.
For the most part, I do not sit and do not say time to write material! Think of something funny! I do not make news, I do not do news topics. These are the guys who have to sit down. I have to wait for my wife to scream at me. And I do not wait long.
What do you think is doing something funny?
It's hard to answer that. It's like asking, "How come music sounds better than this music?"
There are certain rules: the element of surprise, the switcheroo. But for me, it's largely to have people who identify with it. It's my kind of humor, at least. People report and see each other. And then you have to make it funny. But it's an important part of humor: to make people say, & nbsp;shit, that's what I do.
I do not laugh when I watch television on television – & nbsp; I think it's funny, but I do not laugh – but I laughed hard the other day and I was surprised by an actor I was watching on Netflix, Nick Swordson. HI was a little afraid of being afraid of magicians, and I laughed so much because I identified myself to her.
What was your biggest bomb?
I did something called Gator Growl at the University of Florida. It was at the stadium, in the open air, and it was the second year of Everyone loves Raymond. It was their homecoming with at least 30,000 people in the stadium. They had Dave Chappelle and Larry the Cable Guy. I just felt out of place there. I remember being up there on this big stage, and I did the first, then the second, and about 10,000 people, I heard a girl shouting, "You better be funny. ! "
It was not terribly bad, but it was all the circumstances: the children who were younger than me, all the people. I stepped out of the scene and we were supposed to stay in a hotel and drive to the airport the next morning, but I told my manager: let's go to the airport. And we went and stayed at a hotel near the airport. It's joking.
You must know that you are never safe from bombing. It happens to everyone.
