Comedy veteran Peter Berner has been gracing our televisions and radios for years—just don’t expect any ‘Einstein Factor’ from his new live act, ‘As Not Seen On TV’.
So, in a sentence, tell us about your show. I take every thought I’ve ever had, put them in a car, drive the car into a wall and then pick through the wreckage.
Do you feel like people are surprised by the ‘you’ that they encounter during your stand-up? Surprised… scared, troubled, threatened.
How are you different as a stand-up than as a TV and radio personality? As different as free range chicken is from caged.
Do you prefer stand-up to television, or even radio? Stand-up feeds my soul while TV and radio feed my family.
What would be your ultimate gig, if you could choose any venue/ event/ audience? Dream big. A basement room with low ceilings, inadequate fire exits and no table service.
Do you find that people expect you to be constantly funny because you’re a comedian? I suspect they expect me to be heavily medicated.
