Q. Who is your comedy hero?
A. Brian Regan. I love him. He combines his skill as a hard working writer with his talent as a hilarous performer. He's not trying to change the world with his comedy, he's just about having a great time. I haven't watched him in five years cause I ended up emulating him in my own performances.

Q. Have you ever tanked onstage?
A. Of course. All the time. It sucks. The last time I bombed badly was at the Montreal Comedy Festival and I was so upset after I got off stage I didn't go downstairs to the greenroom for 15 minutes. I just sat behind the curtain and buried my head in my hands while the show went on.
