When I moved to New York at 22, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I took an improv class, and the first scene I did, I felt like ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ It was the first time I ever felt like that about anything. I tried to make a living off improv. Kurt Braunohler Read Quote

For a long time, I dressed like an idiot. In college, I had a fully shaved head with just two horns. Like, a coxcomb of hair that I would sculpt into two horns. I looked like a crazy person. Kurt Braunohler Read Quote
For a really long time in my life, I fought against how I look. Because I was raised Catholic in school, where everyone had to wear a suit and tie. I hated everything that stood for. And I realized when I walked down the street, everyone would see the guy I hated and not the guy I was. Kurt Braunohler Read Quote
A lot of improvisers mistakenly assume stand-up is awful, because there are a lot of stand-ups in the world that did not appeal to me. It was so easy to make a blanket statement when I was improvising only: ‘Stand-up’s terrible.’ It’s so ignorant and stupid to do that. But it’s easy to do that. So that’s where I came from.

Other than Caroline’s in New York, I pretty much haven’t done clubs. That was primarily because I always liked the people and audiences at theaters and bars better. Kurt Braunohler Read Quote
In my new IFC comedy game show, ‘Bunk,’ we actually use our intern Patrick as a human timer – giving contestants the time it takes for him to wade through a bag of broken glass for a razor blade, to get gum out of his hair, to pick up every strand from a box of spaghetti I spill on the floor, etc, etc. Kurt Braunohler Read Quote
