Fights problems with bigger problems.

About Me

Well, let's see...I was born in Southsea, Hampshire, England. My parents, Peg and Bill, called me Douglas in memory of my stillborn older brother. My parents were vaudeville entertainers, and at two days old, I was carried onto the stage at King's Theatre. I spent my childhood traveling the vaudeville circuit, where I gained a fondness for entertaining.I attended Miss Whitney's School of Dancing in Southsea and Madame Vacani's Dancing Classes in London before enrolling in St Aloysius' Boarding and Day School for Boys. I played the drums with touring jazz bands and also learned to play the banjo and ukulele. I spent my free time performing comedy sketches and playing the drums.Now I'm in Toronto and don't know what to do with myself.I am creepy and mysterious and quite possibly a figment of your imagination.
