did you ever do any 'bits' as a little kid?
y'know...like, little funny turns or routines that you'd try and make people laugh with when you were really little.
i remember my family always making me do this when i was 6 or 7

i bloody loved a sellout comic when i was young, i did.
i think performing those in no small part helped me to become the comic genius that you know and love today.
