From Friday's Asbury Park Press...
ALL YOU NEED IS DOV
And that's the point...

Davidoff is a get-to-the-point kind of guy. His bio certainly bears
thar out: "Dov Davidoff grew up in a junkyard. He lost his virginity
at the age of 12 with a prostitute in Mexico. He has since been seen
on stage, film and television." I mean, really. Any more info would be excessive, wouldn't it? This weekend, Davidoff stops by the Stress Factory comedy club in New Brunswick. But let's get to the point...
KAZ!: Dov, how would you best describe your style of comedy?
DAVIDOFF: Whatever I find funny. I try to avoid going for light observational stuff. Ideally it should involve truth.
KAZ!: At what age did you realize you were funny?
DAVIDOFF: I don't remember a specific age, but i think it was always there on some level.
KAZ!: What is the worst ever comedy club restroom you've had to endure?
DAVIDOFF: I don't know, but if you're going to bring a girl in there make sure the lock works.
KAZ!: You've worked with Mark Wahlberg in the movie, "Invincible." Was that like, a totally awesome experience?
DAVIDOFF: It was a positive experience.
KAZ!: What is the absolute worst gig you ever had?
DAVIDOFF: Worst gig? Some j*****f producer wouldn't air my set on a
talk show I did a couple years ago. It must have actually been funny.
KAZ!: What is the absolute best gig you ever had?
DAVIDOFF: First time I did HBO's Aspen Comedy Festival was fun.
KAZ!: At what point in your life did you think to yourself, "Hey! I can make a living doing this?"
DAVIDOFF: I still haven't admitted that to myself.
KAZ!: What's the last thing that passes through your mind before you go on stage?
DAVIDOFF: Nothing specific. I find the stage pretty relaxing.
KAZ!: Do people always expect you to be funny, even at moments when
you are not supposed to be funny, like when you're on line at the bank?
DAVIDOFF: Sometimes, but they're going to get disappointed real fast.
KAZ!: You have a brand new CD just released. Tell my why I absolutely need to own it.
DAVIDOFF: 'Cuz it's f****n' funny!
KAZ!: When you are an off-duty comedian, do you have a normal life?
DAVIDOFF: What's normal? I don't think my life has ever felt what I think that means.
KAZ!: What advice do you have for an aspiring young comedian?
DAVIDOFF: Find your own voice.
KAZ!: How excited are you that you are playing in New Brunswick, New Jersey?
DAVIDOFF: Excited to be back in Jersey for a little.
KAZ!: What's next for Dov Davidoff ?
DAVIDOFF: I'm searching for piece of mind.
KAZ!: Anything you'd like to add?
DAVIDOFF: No.
