The US comedian and podcaster on his best heckle, his love of Earl Grey tea and a close encounter with a persistent fan
How did you get into comedy?
I was a child actor and I failed. It was embarrassing and shameful. I felt as if I had let down my parents, who wanted to retire off my winnings as an actor, except there were none. I took a long break from that and eventually got back into comedy at about 25 years old.
What is your new tour, American Royalty, about?
It’s a fun show, it’s silly and it touches on a lot of the topical current events and news issues that we’ve all experienced over the last year. And not just American ones – I cover UK events, too.
