What inspired you to get into stand up comedy?
I wanted to be a writer as a kid but I heard journalism or books don’t always pay very well so I decided to get into comedy.

Things that are symmetrical but different, or when something happens in my life.

Most likely a story about hiding from my family for 24hours when I was a child because I was afraid to get my tonsils removed.
