"One of the best things about going to festivals like this is that you get to play for your peers. When Seattle started up this round of sketch-comedy festivals six years ago, we'd been around for three years. But that was the first time we ever got to play for our peers—we didn't even know we had peers. ... In our own hometown we have a pretty decent following, but we'll have nights where we'll destroy people and the next night—nothing. It'll be like 50 people in the audience and we'll think 'How can we not be making 50 people laugh when we made 50 people laugh last night?' I think it's the same reason people go up to the check-out stand at the same time—it's just herd mentality. You just have to do the show that you do, and people are going to like it or not and you can't take it personally.""

"One of my favorite shows was Flaming Box of Stuff;they were incredible. From the opening with the laser-pointer heartbeat to the plane to the story that they had. It was like watching a play. It also made, not only myself, but a couple other people around me, tear up. We got weepy. It was gorgeous what they did, and they're always standup people and always incredible at what they do. … Also, Meat is incredible at what they do. They just are. They're not gender-specific … they play all kinds of different things and different kinds of people, and they let go of the vanity, which is awesome for women in sketch to do because it's hard. And Britt [Erickson] from Troop!—same thing. We all let go of our vanity and dive in and do characters instead of just gender-specific characters. ... Something we've been talking about for a while is maybe writing a full-length comedic play."
