“ The success of any stand-up act comes out of life experience. ”
The biggest void that people can have in their lives is a sense of humor. Spending your life with someone who doesn't have that wouldn't be palatable.
~ Howie Mandel
I think the thrust of any child is to try to fit in and be part of it. And I can't tell you how many times my humor, you know, what I thought was humor ended up making me the outsider. Like I'd be, I go, 'It's a joke.' And they'd go, 'Well, what was funny?' And they just thought I was insane.
Part of my humor is the fact that I love coming out of left field. I don't want people to expect what is going to happen next.
I'm from Canada, so Thanksgiving to me is just Thursday with more food. And I'm thankful for that.
