Can you share a moment your cast has always remembered? I like to set myself challenges, and I wanted to prove I could write a song about anything. So Iwent on to Wikipedia, clicked random and the page came up for phenylbarbitol. So now I have asong about phenylbarbitol, which ends in an audience singalong…about phenylbarbitol.
Who are your biggest influences? I grew up loving musical comedy, listening to songs from Tripod, Sammy J and The Axis ofAwesome. I still have fond memories of the first time I saw Tripod, performing at a zoo. One ofmy life goals is to perform at a zoo or at least a children’s farm.
Describe your show in three words Music! Comedy! Awesomeness!
Does your show have any audience participation? I like to react to audience reactions. I don’t do the “what’s your name, what do you do for a
living?” kind of interactions, but if someone gets particularly tickled by a bit, I’m naturally curious. Do they work in a factory that produces airline food?
How have the events in your life turned into material? I’m including more events from my personal life in this year’s show. I just got married and I’m inthe third year of a PhD, which takes up most of my time. Sometimes it feels like a double life;mild-mannered research scientist by day, mild-mannered musical comedian by night.
