I think that it's hard for vain people to be funny. I think you can look any way you want as long as you have a good sense of humor about yourself.

With comedy, don't try to be funny. That's really helped me. Just say the lines as you would say them, interact with other characters, and try to make it as real as possible. It will come out funny.
