Where are you in the world right now? Right now I’m back home in Los Angeles. I just woke up. It’s 10am.
You’re an American comedian and TV star – what’s your most ‘showbiz’ anecdote? I talked to Keanu Reeves once. Love him.
You’re a “stand-up comedian who acts”. Was acting something you pursued or more fell into? I’ve always been an actor. Doing stand-up is always what I truly wanted to do. After I started that I started working more as an actor.
How did scoring your role on Whitney impact your comedy career? It got people in seats to see me live. I’m grateful for that.
How do you describe the character you played in Whitney? And how far removed from your actual self was that character? He was a little bit like the rock of the relationship. I’m not sure I’m a rock in real life. I’m a bit more selfish and aloof.
What’s been your best moment so far in comedy? Anytime I shoot a new special. That’s always my new career highlight. My first one was the most wild to me.
What topics are you talking about in the stand-up show we’ll see? I tell stories about how I got to where I am emotionally and mentally. It’s very silly and personal.
For you, what’s the best thing about being a comedian? I make a living saying whatever I think is funny.
