What can I say? To be honest, I never even considered a career in comedy...that is, until that fateful day when my YouTube video "Chicken Dance at Hooters" went viral. It was like, wait, you mean, all of a sudden......I had FANS???????! (gulp).
Who were these twenty or so strangers? I didn’t know—heck, I still don’t! But what I DID know is they believed in my talent. And if they believed in me, then I figured, "Well, you know what, Andrew? I oughta believe in myself too." So I did what any sane person would do—I quit my day job, sold my dog, and moved to New York! NO REGRETS!!!!!!!
