About Me

I am hilarious.

If that's not quite enough information, here are some specifics:

I'm a Canadian comedian, writer and actor. If you recognize me it's probably from MuchMusic's "Video on Trial", the Comedy Network's "From the Desk of Ron Sparks", or one of the TV commercials I'd rather not talk about. I also perform live stand-up and sketch (with my troupe The Minnesota Wrecking Crew), domino-toppling, public feats of magic, and - oh, yeah, I'm a concert oboist.

If for some reason that still isn't enough information, please feel free to investigate me further, using every stalker's secret weapon - the internet:
