Our Comedy Star of the Week is Andrew Hunt! I asked him a couple questions that you can read below:
What made you get into comedy?When I was in 8th grade I did a Standup Routine at the Lambton County Public Speaking Finals (instead of doing the typical speech about my dog or The Detroit Redwings). I came in dead LAST, but I was featured in several newspapers. And I realized that most people love a good laugh, even if the judges do not.
Who do you look up to in comedy?I love Bob Odenkirk and Dylan Moran. They never insult the audience's intelligence with their jokes. I grew up wishing I was Jim Carrey (as most of us did). Lately, I am laughing a lot at New York comedian, Alison Rosen.
What made you decide to write this song?I am releasing a comedy album this summer called "People Look Gross When They Laugh". And every good album needs a love song.
Has your video helped or cramped your dating game?I get SO many dates! It's insane!! Did I say, "I get dates?" Because I meant, "I'm so lonely that I just started making friendship bracelets...... for myself."
What will you be doing with the $200?I will start with a pizza party! And I might record some fake party noises onto a CD; so that the pizza guy doesn't judge me when I order the Family-Size deal; and eat it all to myself. And I will be using a chunk of it to get to The World Cup of Comedy in Toronto from Sarnia!
Congrats once again!
