Ramsey Moore is a stand-up comedian who has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live. You can check out his stand-up routine at MySpace.com/RamseyMoore.

Q: While the list must no doubt be endless, what are the three main areas that inspire your brand of comedy?

RM: The big three are my childhood, my sex life and the awkward silence of any social interaction. There is something so delicious about two strangers in a steam room naked trying to avoid eye contact. My sex life always seems to be odd and shocking so it is both painful and funny to me. Children are the most honest human beings that you will ever talk to and incapable of being unfunny. I wish I had at least two kids.

Q: Being a comedian often requires arduous treks across the country as you venture from club to club. What's perhaps the toughest thing about being on the road?

RM: The toughest thing about the road is the radical difference in how you are treated from one club to the next. I always find myself asking one of two questions, "Am I really this good?" or "Do I really suck this bad?"

Q: What subject do you refuse to joke about in your routine?

RM: I try to not have anything that is off limits. The other day Adam Hunter was shocked when I called and asked my 74 year old father if he had ever run a train on someone. He had not, but I still feel that even at 74 Reid is capable of doing just that.

Q: Are there any comics who you would hate to follow?

RM: I went up in New York City right after Chris Rock had just done 90 minutes and still did well. I guess that I would hate to follow Patrice Oneal because after he is done there really isn't much that hasn't already been said.

Q: When was the first time you discovered you had what it took to be a comedian?

RM: After a really bad set in Los Angeles a drunk Anthony Clark told me that I should quit comedy and move back to whatever backwater shit-hole I came from so I said, "Fuck you." A year later I pissed in his hot tub. Take that punk.

Q: What's the most unusual place you turn to for comic inspiration?

RM: It's a tie. God and Lee Majors.

Q: What advice would you give to aspiring comedians?

RM: Learn to just talk about yourself to strangers as if you were drunk in college. If you can make a living doing what you love then you are blessed.

Q: Bar none, who are the three funniest people you've seen perform live?

RM: Brody Stevens for some reason just kills me. His act is so simple but great all at the same time. This stripper I dated for a while because it was as if she had no idea what to do with her body on stage which is odd because off stage she was fucking poetry. My Uncle George has this amazing mustache and smirk that always seems like he is up to something. He could be delivering a eulogy and I would still crack up.

Q: Where can all of your fans stay up to date on your work?

RM: MySpace.com/RamseyMoore

Q: We end all interviews with word association. I say "wombat" and you say...

RM: Polka. Jolly Joe Timmers Polka Hour in Bethleham, Pa. Man won a Grammy.
