The character doesn't know he is in a comedy . Comedy is someone else's tragedy. Wait long enough and all tragedy will turn into comedy . There are a lot of funny people in the movies and on the stage, but there are very few people who are human funny . And when they're human funny, they are twice as good as anybody else.
Comedy requires technique.
I n comedy never be crazy if you don't know why. Comedy is a science. A person who the audience recognizes. Someone has to be the straight man . Laurel and Hardy always had someone watching.
