DAG on standup

David Alan Grier, quoted on BostonNow.com, on the occasion of his upcoming weekend at the Comedy Connection at Faneuil Hall:

I never thought I’d do comedy in a club. I thought maybe I’d have to do it for a few weeks to get noticed and get on TV, but once I was on TV I wouldn’t need to do it any more. I really looked down on those guys until one day Damon Wayans told me how much money he made the doing standup one weekend in Buffalo. Overnight my respect for standup blossomed and I couldn’t wait to get out on the road.
