"By the time my father died [1989] I hadn't cleared anything up with him, despite my best efforts. I think I might have made things worse, actually. But it worked on stage. Pain and funny are so closely related. At times when I was pretending to cry on stage, I would actually cry, you know, I would get carried away in the rhythm of it and actually cry.

It felt cleansing and true. Best of all, I knew the audience had never seen stuff like this from a comedian." - Connolly to The London Times, Aug. 10, 1997
