I started out being a stand up and writing my own material. That took me to Talk Soup, where I was writing and performing for TV.

When I was young I thought, 'Yeah, people don't see, they're not recognizing how funny I am, and how talented I am'. And the guys that mentored me were like, 'You just have to keep getting up'. And I look back and they were right. They were all right.
