Over the years, I managed to develop this comedy career, went from opening act to headliner at comedy clubs, to playing concert halls, and had an off-Broadway show with 'Sleepwalk With Me.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I eventually became an actor, starting with doing stand-up comedy in New York and then theater wherever they would let me. Finally, I moved out here to Los Angeles and got on a show.
I was a failed actor but I still wanted to show off, so I ended up doing live comedy.
I grew up performing in theatre.
Acting, I started when I was six and a half years-old, on Broadway with Kurt Weill.
I studied at Guildhall and did the acting course, but because I could sing a bit, I kept being cast in musicals.
The first thing I ever did was play talent shows at the Uptown Theater and the Adelphi Ballroom.
I played comedies and dramas.
I play-acted and started performing, which just logically led to doing it in school, which led to studying it in college, which led to auditioning to the showcase in New York. And then I had an agent, and I was an actress.
January 14, 2000, was my first time on stage, and I've been hooked ever since. I got discovered nationally in Seattle by the now-defunct HBO Comedy Festival, and that led to an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and a path to a professional comedy career.
I built my entire career off of teen comedies. I was in 'Bring It On'.
