On Stand-Up Comedy
I do it on and off. I try to do it almost every night when I’m in town here in LA. There is always something with pop culture you can talk about. Every other comic I know that’s on TV, they do the same thing, like Amy Schumer I think, goes up every single night. Every opportunity you get seems like a good opportunity.
Work Ethic
My passion got me here. My parents are very hardworking passionate people who sacrificed a lot so that my brother and I could live the life we wanted to. It’s never lost on me, so I learned my work ethic from my parents. I hope things continue to go well for me, I know I’m only afforded those luxuries because of the work that’s put in.
Dining Out
I will always get a Reuben sandwich. There’s a place called Greenblatt’s, which is next to where the Laugh Factory is. I perform there every weekend. I love that club. I love the people there. I get the same thing every time- the Reuben with lean corned beef with extra Thousand Island on the side and I always get the macaroni salad.

Downtime
I think it’s nice to have a good balance of things in your life. I definitely have friends who will hang out at the club. I really like late nights at diners. Because I spend so much time on a set every day, I try to go out and live as much of a real life as I can.
