So tell us about stand-up.
I was doing it to learn Richard Pryor, so I could learn to play him in a movie — but I don’t know what’s up with the movie. So I hope this one [A Haunted House] does well and I can try and get some money raised so I can do that Richard Pryor movie, because it’s a special script and it would be a special experience. But in the meantime if it doesn’t happen, or even if it does happen, Richard Pryor brought me to stand-up and I’m never sitting my black a– down. I love stand-up. I started out wanting to play a great, and now honestly I want to be great. I’m still a rookie; I do well and I get really good laughs, but I want you to see me in 10 years. At that point, I hope to have something really special. In the meantime, I’m just developing and learning how to become one of the greats.
Tell our readers why they should go see this movie.
Listen, y’all ain’t seen funny s–t in awhile. Borat was hilarious, Hangover was hilarious, and Ted had some really funny s–t in it. So if you like laugh-out-loud comedy from the time you sit down, until the time you get out, go see A Haunted House. If you like laughing until your ribs hurt, if you’re fat and you’re trying to get abs, this movie ain’t gonna give you abs, but you’re gonna feel the underneath abs. So go see this movie — it’s really funny; take a date and she will not be mad at you. Your relationship will be better because she will be laughing. … You may laugh until you fart, but it’s OK, because we all fart. So go see A Haunted House … it comes out Jan. 11 … I like it, it’s funny, and I think you’ll find it funny too.
