00:12Know your act.
00:16Black comedy from a white perspective.
00:20They said that intelligent comedy was the last suit.
00:24Know who you're working with.
00:26How you doing? Dick Burns.
00:28I didn't want us both being naked in the same bed, you know what I mean?
00:31I'm the guy making the drinks, I'm in charge of the comedy juice, and you're gonna watch my magic?

00:51We love Dick! Dick rocks! We love Dick!
00:54You suck!
00:56Dick!
00:57We're just some kind of roadkill on your little Audubon to success.
01:00And most importantly, know how to run.
01:04Chris Valenti and Ian Harris star in an Ian Harris film about what really happens to a comedian on the road.
01:13How are you?
01:14But I want them to be able to believe that they left there with something special.
01:19They were able to take something special home with them.
01:22Have you tried selling t-shirts?
01:24Hey, so folks, thanks a lot. Keep your waiting.
