Coming Out to My Parents My parents never knew I was funny growing up. I don’t know why but I was very embarrassed to show them that side of myself. I’ll never forget how incredibly nervous I was bringing them to my show the first time. I had my little gay closet moment. “Mom, Dad, I don’t know how else to say this, but… I’m funny. I’m a funny person. I’ve always been funny. It’s who I am. I don’t want to be ashamed of it anymore. I want to lead a funny lifestyle. I want to have breakfast at 2 in the afternoon with other funny people.” And I was out.
