Spade on standup comedy

ComingSoon.net interviewed David Spade:

CS: How important is standup for you?

Spade: I think I’m getting worse. I’ve been doing The Mirage a lot in Vegas. I go out there and they pay more, so it’s harder because I have to do better. And I have to do it longer. I’m not that bad at it anymore but it’s really hard when you’ve got too much going on. Like right now it’s really hard because I have this and the show starts Thursday. We tape Wednesday the first show. So this is like a little crazy time but usually I’ve got a lot of time off and I sneak out there and do it and I get to work on it. It’s good to do standup. It kind of wakes you up and makes you feel like you’re doing something and get the crowd right there. That’s all fun. But it’s a lot of work. Like I asked Adam (Sandler) why he doesn’t do it anymore. He would never consider it. He goes, ‘I would never do it again.’ It’s hard and he gets overwhelmed with probably too high of expectations so it’s not that fun for him.
