Hi everyone, here's another entry of “All You Can Eat Sushi And Talk Comedy”, all about the one and only Sam Burns!
Sam is a super funny and unfairly young comic from Barrie, Ontario. He graduated from Humber College in 2014 and has been part of the 2014 Cream of Comedy, Humber New Faces 2014, and was the winner of The Funniest Kid Competition in Richmond Hill. I got to do a gig with him in Shelbourne where he ripped into a guy at his retirement party – it had my crying with laughter at the back of the Legion Hall. We went out for “All You Can Eat Sushi And Talk Comedy!” and here's some hilarious stuff he said:
- “I tried to impress a girl by eating a lot of sushi, but instead I threw up in front of the restaurant as she watched.”
- “I was such an odd kid. I'd just burst into song or hit my head against the desk. I think I thought I was the class clown, but I was probably just obnoxious.”
- “My movie moment was playing a Blink 182 song in school. My buddy took his shirt off and when the principal ran onstage to gave him a new shirt, my buddy threw it in his face and the crowd went nuts.”
- “For some reason, I was booked to do a show for the African Student Alliance. I have no idea why they booked me – I'm the whitest guy and it was my first paid gig. I ended up walking five tables.”
- “This is how nice Barrie is – there's a nice fancy restaurant and an HMV right beside it.”
- “I was so nervous passing one of those drunk-drinking checkstops that I nearly hit the cop as I was pulling in. Then he made me back up and I nearly hit him again.”
