But long story short, I didn't start doing stand-up because I wanted to have a TV show or be an actor or even wanted to write sketch comedy. I got into stand-up because I love stand-up.

I never set out to do a sketch show.

I'm in a sketch comedy group in school and I also do stand-up.

I went from an unemployed actor's life to doing stand-up comedy, and that was fortuitous. It's not the usual way the crow flies, going from being in a TV sketch show to playing one of Shakespeare's finest characters, but, hey, that's the way it has happened.

I did sketch comedy with a troupe at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.

When you're doing sketch comedy and you're pregnant, it's like wearing a giant sombrero in every sketch.
