#Quote
1While you're improvising, you may come up with something which will break him up. As soon as that smile comes out, you know that, hey, we're having fun.
2The most memorable performance was my appearance in concert in Carnegie Hall. The first standup to do so.
3The Steve Allen Sunday-night show had the right to two options after my first performance.
4[referring to his comedy album, "The Edge of Shelley Berman"] Though it sold very well, I hated "The Edge".
5Unquestionably, standup comedy is and has always been an art form.
6So that this thing that aired in 1963 would result a few years later in personal bankruptcy, would result in having people be on edge with me, wondering when I'm going to blow up.
7Incidentally, I'm still looking for acting work, my first love.
8"Inside" [his album "Inside Shelley Berman"] was the second LP album of a comedian's performance before an audience.
9My first job was at a Chicago nightclub called Mr. Kelly's.
10My whole act is confession.
11[referring to his best-selling comedy albums, "Inside Shelley Berman", "Outside Shelley Berman" and "The Edge of Shelley Berman"] "Outside" came in '60. "The Edge" in '61. All three [went] gold, but the biggest seller was "Inside".
12I am careful with my material and presentation.
13I am presently in my 13th year of teaching a graduate course at the University of Southern California.
14I believe it is important for comedians to know who came before them.
15I quit smoking well over 20 years ago.
16I will always love to perform standup comedy.
17As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud, the anger is elevated, sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.
18I was an actor before becoming a comedian.
19The old problems-- love, money, security, status, health, etc.--are still here to plague us or please us.
20I am in the Master of Professional Writing program teaching Humor Writing, Literary and Dramatic.
21As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian.
#Fact
1One of the jobs he had before he got into show business was a dance instructor at an Arthur Murray Dance Studio.
2In 1955 he joined The Compass Players in Chicago, a comedy improv group that had a cabaret on the city's North Side.
3Interviewed in "The Great Comedians Talk About Comedy" by Larry Wilde (1968).
4He studied drama at HB Studios in Greenwich Village in New York City.
5Uncle of actor Henry Herman.
