So my earliest impressions of Twitter were similar to what a lot of people thought, which was that it was a mass text message board that anytime someone you were friends with farted, you would find out about it.
And as much as I enjoy my friends farts, I want to savor them, I want them to be special, you know?
A lot of people know you solely from your Twitter account. How would you introduce yourself to a reader who isnt familiar with you?The most important three things about me are, Im a dad, a husband and a comedian. I think thats about it. Im mostly boring compared to all the garbage that you read about online. Ive always been a weirdo.
Why do you say that youve always been a weirdo?
Ive always enjoyed silly, funny, outrageous, insane things for their entertainment value. Im addicted to laughing and making other people laugh so I spend most of my waking moments either trying to make funny things or consume them -- for better or for worse. My life has a singular focus, certainly.
If I were a woman, when I encountered sexism Id be like BRB, Im gonna go *MAKE A HUMAN* IN MY BODY LIKE A MAGICAL GOD, YOU SAD OAF.
rob delaney (@robdelaney)What were you doing before Twitter?
Standup and trying to get hired for late-night shows. I had been doing standup for some years before Twitter and -- you know, I was getting paid to do it, but not enough to live. I dont know if youve seen , but its superb, and there are literally scenes where his traveling standup gigs result in a net negative, where youre paid less than it cost to get there. And I definitely had plenty of those.Im guessing Twitter has changed that.
Yeah, very, very dramatically. I am able to now sell places out on the road, which is the greatest thing that ever happened, as far Im concerned. Its afforded me insane opportunities. As I said, I was pursuing all the classic avenues that a comedian does to make a living beforehand, but Twitter pretty much pole-vaulted me into another universe. So Im very cognizant of that.
Youre sort of a poster boy for the success a comedian can have by making himself known through Twitter. Has anyone from Twitter reached out to you?
I was summoned to headquarters maybe a year-and-a-half ago and we just shot the breeze. They kinda wanted to know what I liked about it, what I didnt like. And we just sort of had a little brain-smush together, and that was fun. Any time Ive interacted with anyone who works at Twitter-- you know, theyre pretty youth-savvy and interesting and interested in what Im doing and what people are doing with Twitter.
Im curious to hear what you told them you didnt like.
I told them that for my purposes, I need no bells and whistles. I am after the pure experience of what can I get in 140 characters. Twitter for me could be a white box that I put jokes in. Im very interested, of course, in how many people share my jokes or are retweeting, but thats literally the only bell I need. I need no others.
But I dont have any real standing complaints about Twitter. If I graded it as a service I might give it an A, instead of an A+; but, you know, what is perfect in this world, other than Adeles porcelain complexion and melodious voice? Not much.
When are we going to see a Rob Delaney show?
I dont know! I just wrote a pilot for the BBC. And I just gave that to them. Maybe theyll like that, maybe they wont, but it was my latest effort to make a television show. Its a sitcom about a husband and a wife and their children.
Do you have a British accent?
No, Im American in it. Im American, and my wife is Sharon Horgan, and shes Irish. But its set in London.http://johannamof.soclog.se/p/2013/5/?link=1369582012
