Growing up, I loved comedy even before I knew that you could be a stand-up comedian.

I really loved making my mom laugh, and I knew that she thought that I was funny. It was really valuable, in my home growing up, to be able to have a chat and participate in a conversation and be funny. Whatever I could do to make my mom laugh could either get me out of trouble or just get me more attention or get me respect in the house.

Growing up in Canada, I dated a few ice hockey players.

Christmas coming means one thing for comedians: office party gigs!

I found I had the ability to do comedy. My timing was really inborn.

The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it... try to fake three laughs in an hour - ha ha ha ha ha - they'll take you away, man. You can't.

When I was starting out, I always wanted to be able to do everything - comedy and drama and action, and everything in between. Film is so diverse, and it's fun to be able to take advantage of all of it.

I'm lucky. I've worked with extremely talented women who won't sacrifice comedy to make themselves look better.
