“I think you're a comedian as soon as you start. I don't think there's ...” — Ari Shaffir Quote

I think you're a comedian as soon as you start. I don't think there's a moment where you become a full comic.

I definitely recommend keeping frozen corn dogs in your freezer.

I'm a bit of an introvert, so after talking for an hour and then shaking hands and taking pictures with the people who came out, I kind of need to be alone for a bit to get away from all stimuli.

I'm just a weird mix of immature and intelligent and I like to share my point of view and who I am.

You just gotta record stuff and move on and make new material. Painters don't wait until they're in some specific gallery before they move on to the next painting.

I know I'm fly - don't get me wrong. But I don't look, like, standard Hollywood. As a comedian, it's something you learn to use.

I was influenced by every comedian I ever saw work. That's the only way you learn how to do it.

It takes many years to be a great comedian.

That is the job of a comedian: To take unpleasant subject matter and forcibly, with his hands, wring the funny out of it.

The audience loves when the comedian talks to them. You're creating inside jokes, which creates a community.
