I wouldn't call myself insecure. I would say I have a need to be loved and appreciated. I think one of the greatest differences between Orny Adams pre-'Comedian' and the current Orny Adams is I don't feel the need to announce or proclaim my comedy to be anything great. All that matters is when I step on that stage the audience thinks I'm funny. And when I step off the stage they still think I'm funny. Everything else is really not important. Show less «

I've always felt like I'm a comedy outsider. Like I wasn't part of any group. And I never wanted to be part of any group. I just wanted to do my work - and do good work - and then go home. I mean, after these shows, a lot of the comics socialize and go out for dinner. I tend to go back to my hotel room, and get into my head and look at my notes, and figure out what I did that I'm happy about and what didn't go the way I wanted it to go. I feel very raw when I'm on-stage, so it's hard for me to shake that immediately. Show less «
