February 14th, 2004
Twenty years ago today, my Comedy Now! special aired for the first time across Canada. 
(It was my third special) 

This is the special that changed my life. 

It was uploaded in the early days of file sharing and went viral around the world.

Shortly after this special was released a little thing called
“YouTube” was
launched and my life would never be the same.

So l want to say thank you to everyone that has supported me since this special and especially those that had my back before this even aired.

Here’s to the next twenty years…
I couldn’t do this without you
