I feel very lucky that I've been able to carve out any niche at all in this business. It's so hard to get into. Brian Posehn businesscarvefeel Change image and share on social
My act is pretty much me reflecting on what I want to talk about and what I think is funny and what has happened to me. Brian Posehn actfunnyhappen Change image and share on social
In D&D, I love playing the first guy through the door - the guy with the battle-axe. 'Where are the bad guys? Just point me at 'em!' Brian Posehn axebadbattle Change image and share on social
I've always hated the term 'alternative'; I only use it because when I say it, people know what I'm talking about. I always thought it was weird when guys like myself or Patton Oswalt or Dana Gould, these older guys, were called 'alternative' comedy. Brian Posehn alternativecallcomedy share on social
I was such a weird kid. The really hardcore stuff like Venom - I was totally aware of them, and I listened to some of it - but they actually frightened me. Brian Posehn awarefrightenhardcore Change image and share on social
I wanted to be a vet before I got into comedy, but then once I found out how much gore goes into that job, I wanted nothing to do with it. Brian Posehn comedyfindgore Change image and share on social
Once I could drive, I spent all my time in the city going to metal shows. I missed the first couple of Metallica shows because I was lame. By the time I got into them, they were playing places like the Kabuki. Brian Posehn citycoupledrive share on social
I love writing. It's one of my favorite jobs. Of the things I get to do, I love sitting in a room and coming up with ideas, and I love going home and pounding them out. Brian Posehn comefavoritehome Change image and share on social
I used to see my friend Harland Williams in a lot of auditions. Then you'd see one of the DeLuise kids because they're kind of heavy and character-y. You'd just see a lot of the same guys over the years. Brian Posehn auditioncharacterdeluise share on social
I don't exactly fit well in leather pants, so I don't rock that look. I lost my hair a long time ago, so no hair-metal look, either. I had hair down to my belly button at one point, but I think that was the '90s. Brian Posehn 90sagobelly share on social
