It's every way of writing. I'll be sitting at a stoplight and think of a joke, and I'll talk it into my recorder on my phone. Or I wake up in the middle of the night and think of something, get up and write it down or type it into the phone. Or I'll sit down at the desk and do it the hard way. That's why I love what I do. I do my own standup at the beginning of the show, but people have asked me would you ever want to quit and just do straight stand up? No, you dance with who brought you. Good comedy has two main ingredients: conflict and tension. That's what makes a great comedy movie or a sitcom or whatever. It's the tension and conflict between characters. And rather than just tell jokes, I can do that on stage because it's more than one person.
When Trump was in office, I had a lot of fun with that. We did a bunch of videos where Walter would dress up like Trump, and we called him Grump. We made fun of everything there was to make fun of with Donald Trump. And now Biden's in office, and that's free game. I love the idea of making fun of what is there in front of everybody and what is easily made fun of and fun to make fun of. But you don't do it in a mean-spirited way. I pride myself on the fact that many people now from the Left see my show and go, you know, Walter is Biden, but we're not trashing the left. We're just making fun of what we're all seeing on a daily basis. And people walk away going “yeah, that was fine.
