How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I tweet about shows, upcoming events, TV appearances- it connects me to new fans and fans to me- it's great exposure
What's your favorite Twitter app?
Twitter has apps?
Twitter or Facebook?
oooo I can't chose. I say Facebook only because more people have facebook, but in terms of instant gratification? TWITTER
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
I really like my trend of #PUBnation where people send me pics of their pet's underbellies
What feature should Twitter add?
Should make all links only a one character link that way it takes up less space
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
My nana. She's dead.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Anything that might be misconstrued as me misspelling it- if it's polysyllabic I'll probably spell it out and skimp on "two" and "you"
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Anyone not following me.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
I've unfollowed some funny people because they are unfunny on twitter.Some people just can't be funny in 140 characters

My humor, plain and simple
What inspires you to tweet?
Funny thoughts, bad tv, good tv, animals doing funny things, annoying people who work at airlines, complaining- a lot of that
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Yeah, BY Twitter. I tweeted 250 tweets in a night and it pretty much blocked me and told me to come back the next day. I took a cold shower
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Don't ask people to follow you just because you follow them. It's not symbiotic. You have to earn a follow
How long can you go without a tweet?
a few hours &that's only if my phone isn't available. If the phone is on and I'm free, I'm tweeting. I love it- I wanna put it in my coffee
What question are we not asking here that we should?
Maybe ask what users don't like about twitter (aside from the 140 character limit) I don't think handles should count against character #s
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
I think the name in the twitter handle shouldn't count against your character #s- it's not fair

Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?

If it's something I would say into a microphone, then I tweet it. I stick by what I tweet and I don't apologize and I don't tweet garbage

To promote my comedy but then it became about connecting with my audience. It's so great to have people to talk to at 5am at LAX

Yes. As a traveling comedian it keeps me connected with fans and gives me an outlet for my humor 24/7
