Quotes: Stephen Merchant
Posted on 23 March 2012
Many of the unknown people who work behind the scenes writing TV comedy started life dabbling in stand-up. Even though they may not have been great performers themselves, they probably had good ideas and good jokes and befriended other comedians on the circuit. When one of those other comedians got their big break and needed writers, whom do you suppose they turned to? Why, those friendly faces from the circuit. Right place, right time.
