Once I could drive, I spent all my time in the city going to metal shows. I missed the first couple of Metallica shows because I was lame. By the time I got into them, they were playing places like the Kabuki.

As a comic, I used to know more about pop culture.

We had our family tree done... turns out I'm a quarter gay on my father's side.

I got into Kiss before I got into anybody. The first thing I heard was Detroit Rock City. I heard it in the school library, where I lived.

Metal is easily my favorite thing - Exodus and Anthrax and Megadeth - so it just kind of organically came through in the standup act.

Turns out, theres not a lot of information about pickles on the Internet.

Metal is the feeling of being an outsider, but still being part of something huge.
