...startling self-confidence. He almost never auditioned any of his material before friends or tried it out, like most other comedians, in small clubs. "There wasn't time," he explains. "I'd get a TV shot and just go down and do the bit." Even today, Brooks seldom repeats a routine and does not keep a catalogue of any of his creations.
