Canada has been a breeding ground for great comedic actors, sketch artists and stand-up comedians. We grew up with a different perspective on the world.

I hate when you go into a nice restaurant - someplace where you're going to spend good money - and there are kids in there crying.

I'm an American citizen now, but I will always have Canadian pride.

I sort of write onstage. I'll throw an idea out there, like Home Depot, and just start talking about it.

Being in a smaller environment - sometimes I like that. As a comic, we start off in comedy clubs, and there are people right at your feet, right on top of you. And I realize, as I get older, I miss that sometimes.

My favorite genre is definitely romantic comedy. I love 'When Harry Met Sally.'

Comedy has allowed me to be my 100-percent-true self, as opposed to other places, where I feel like that's been a hindrance. Whether it's music or poetry or hosting, people want you to be something else: they want you to be packaged in a certain way.

Me myself, Brian, I'm a Midwesterner at heart, and I have this deep, bone-dry sense of humor, and I've found it worked to combine this Barbie with a dry, sarcastic man.
