John has also starred in the hit Broadway musical 'Hairspray' and appeared in 'Duets' with Gwenyth Paltrow, 'The Punisher' with John Travolta and 'Junior' with Arnold Schwarzenegger But his passion is stand up. John's been named Comedian of the Year at the American Comedy Awards and he was nominated for a Gemini Award for a routine at Just For Laughs.
