Quote by Gerry Bednob

Understanding this quote
Being funny in everyday situations does not automatically make someone effective onstage. A class clown or the funny person at parties may rely on the moment and familiar people, while a performance requires careful timing. The speaker says that timing is central and that they learned enough about it to improve their stage work.
