I had started doing stand-up when I was thirteen, and by the time I was fourteen, I was getting better at it. I wasn’t fantastic, but I was probably on the better end of the spectrum of the comics in Vancouver at the time. Coupled with the fact that I was a teenager, I was a bit of a novelty. Like when you see one of those YouTube videos of an elephant that can paint: They’re usually not that great at painting, but the fact that it’s an elephant really buys it some points.
