Yuk Yuk's

Oh, really?

... and performed for s- uh, five minutes at Yuk Yuk's on amateur night.

[laughs] Most-

Okay

Mm-hmm

... d- the same, but when you're working, like, an improv in another city or Yuk Yuk's-

Yeah

... or any of those kinds of things, if you're the headliner, well, everybody that's sitting there gotta pay at some point.

[laughs]

And the guy said, uh, the, the, Mark Breslin, who owned the club Yuk Yuk's in Toronto said, "You gotta come back tomorrow." And I said, "Do, for what?" He goes, "Do it again." I go, "Do what?"

Do it again.

And, and that's the first time I ever...

So how did you, like, capture that? So you go back and do it a couple of more times, but how did you take that moment, that moment of joy, that moment of like, wow, which had been elusive to you, and turn it into something that was gonna go beyond that day?

I had never...

Uh, and I, so after that day, I showed up at Yuk Yuk's as often as I could.

And I was, and with, again, still no aspiration of being in the business and making this a career.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm gonna say Yuk Yuk's.

Oh, that's where I started.

That's it.

That's where I started.

Your old stomping ground.

First time I ever went on stage was at Yuk Yuk's in Toronto.

Do you still play that club?
