normal piece subject toast twist whether
I try to take normal things - whether it's a serious subject or something as obscure as a piece of toast - and put a very weird twist on them.
character people
I think a lot of people think I'm doing kind of a character onstage, but what you're really getting is just me.
home sort throw
I sort of write onstage. I'll throw an idea out there, like Home Depot, and just start talking about it.
good mind people telling
I get a lot of people telling me that I'd make a good 'wacky neighbor.' I wouldn't mind that, if it was a starting-off point.
funny goes guy jokes onstage starts twitching
I don't laugh so much at jokes and premises as I do at a guy who goes onstage and starts twitching and acting funny.
randomly shows tour tours
I don't go on tour tours - I just go randomly to cities to do shows if I have an opening in my schedule.
ended originally
What's interesting about Stephen Baldwin is that me and Dana Gould were originally cast for 'Bio-Dome' - but Pauly Shore and Baldwin ended up doing it. So there's a little movie trivia for ya.
script
My roots are in stand-up, and stand-up is very freeing. There's no script involved; you just fly.
abstract explore humor opposed side sitcom stuff typical usual
I'd like to explore the more abstract side of people's minds, as opposed to the usual sitcom stuff. I don't want to do the typical sitcom-type humor. I'd want to do stuff like go bowling with pineapples.
buffet crab great love whenever
I love seafood. Whenever I'm in Las Vegas, I love going to the Bellagio buffet because they have these great king crab legs.
I'm an American citizen now, but I will always have Canadian pride.
eye triangles pumpkin
Pumpkins are the only living organisms with triangle eyes.
thinking monkeys saws
I think life would be so much funnier if every day you saw someone walking down the street getting hit in the head by a monkey.
artist perspective comedian
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.
