Who did you look up to when you started out?
In the open mic comedy scene I was coming up in, I loved my friends Maria Bamford, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Fairbanks, Martha Kelly and a million others. The professional comedians I was into prior to starting standup would have been Richard Pryor, Steven Wright, Paula Poundstone, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Ellen DeGeneres and Joan Rivers.
Can you recall a gig so bad, it’s now funny?
The first two years of my career.
