We sang a lot of church music. We were very active Baptists. Supposedly, I started singing when I was being given a bath - at 14 months or something like that.

He vaguely muttered something about how I’d need to earn a living somehow, but he’s been totally behind me, forking out money he didn’t really have to send me to university. Every other comedian I’ve met had to fight their parents to be allowed to do this but mine have been brilliant Picture Quote #1

Like a lot of kids, I had a Superman cake or different theme cakes, but then I hit the age where I think my mom thought I was ready for the German chocolate cake that she makes for my dad. Just the sight of that, the taste of that frosting, just reminds me of being at home with my mom and my dad and my sister and my friends Picture Quote #1

My dad was very religious growing up and a little bit closed minded, and I think me being in the theater, two of my three sisters are dancers, so being in the arts world has changed and opened him up in a lot of ways Picture Quote #1

My dad didn’t graduate from high school, ended up being a printing salesman, probably never made more than $8,000 a year. My mom sold real estate and did it part time Picture Quote #1
