Q: What drives you to perform comedy?
A: There’s a certain adrenaline to performing live that you can’t get from any other part of life and making people laugh with an original thought is almost better than weed.
Q: What’s something you’ve learned over time?
A: Making yourself truly happy is the only sure way to sincerely make anyone else happy.
Q: What can you share about a mentor or idol that has influenced your work?
A: I enjoy watching my idols in comedy, music etc., but I don’t just enjoy watching them perform – I enjoy that they enjoy what they’re doing. It’s not work. They’re having fun. I strive to be that carefree when I grab a microphone.
Q: Since this is a multi-disciplinary show, what are your thoughts on collaboration between artists from different genres?
A: Comedy and music is a beautiful marriage. Finding the right creative beats, comedic timing is a wonderful thing to watch as well as take part in. I’ve been lucky enough to do both.
