ADD QUOTES
- Zach: Wherever there's something that people don't feel comfortable talking about, that's where the good jokes are... A bad comic follows his audience, catering to whatever they want; a good comic will always lead.

- Zach: I love to do shows in unlikely places, because the audience's expectations are less fixed.

- Zach: My brother was torturous, I guess, but in a funny way. He used to say to me, 'I'm giving you a gag order,' then stuff his dirty underpants into my mouth. He used to drag me stark naked across the lawn, then hold me up by my ankles for the passing cars to see.
