Did you ever hear of a kid playing accountant - even if they wanted to be one?

I wasn't funny as a kid. I remember enjoying comedians, but I never understood it was a job choice or a profession.

I don't know if I was a funny kid. I would say I was a loud and weird kid.

As a kid, I had to be funny.

I look like an accountant. And no offense to accountants! There's some really cool accountants out there.

Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.

I worked in accounting for two and a half years, realized that wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and decided I was just going to give comedy a try.

I was a very bad accountant; I didn't care about money, golf or discovering fraud. After about a year I was sacked; then I went into teacher training.

I'm a comedian, which is the opposite of a lifestyle that equips you to be a parent.
