As an aboriginal comedian, Howie Miller has taken it upon himself to let everyone know Indigenous people have a great sense of humour.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 a pretty easy going comedian who thinks that everyone should laugh and I try to find the humour in everything,91裸聊视频 Miller said.
Miller will be bringing to Lake Country on Friday as the opening performer for the Creekside Theatre 2017-18 season.
Miller91裸聊视频檚 show, called Train Wreck Comedy, is about trying to make comedy accessible to all, he says.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 not just a 91裸聊视频榥ative comedian.91裸聊视频 I91裸聊视频檓 a comedian who happens to be native,91裸聊视频 he said.
Still, in a historic nod to his own culture, he does poke fun at the Canada 150 celebrations.
91裸聊视频淪ome people have been here longer. I do poke fun at myself for being mistaken for every other race besides being native.91裸聊视频
Miller hails from Edmonton, born to Cree Nation parents, fostered at six months of age and ultimately adopted by his German foster parents.
After working at several odd jobs, Miller thought playing off his native descent could open up a unique opportunity for him as a comedian.
He thought it was a way he could make a lot of money quickly as in his early 20s he was supporting a family of four.
Over the last decade Miller has become a fixture at many major Canadian comedy festivals including the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival.
He is currently working on his own special for the Comedy Network, a gig that almost forced him to cancel his Lake Country show but 91裸聊视频渨e managed to figure things out.91裸聊视频
Miller was recently featured in the Showtime special No Reservations Needed and can also be heard on CBC Radio91裸聊视频檚 popular show 91裸聊视频淭he Debaters.91裸聊视频
In 2010, Miller joined the Pow Wow Comedy jam and since then has received an entertainer of the year award from the National Indian Gaming Association and comedic performance of the year honours at the National Indigenous Awards in New Mexico in 2012.
Miller says he tends to avoid being too political in his act because he doesn91裸聊视频檛 want to appear 91裸聊视频渙ne-sided91裸聊视频 on a given issue.
91裸聊视频淭hat gets in the way of making everyone laugh,91裸聊视频 he explained. 91裸聊视频淏ut be warned, if I91裸聊视频檓 ever elected prime minister, there91裸聊视频檚 going to be some changes.91裸聊视频
Miller adds he also steers clear of the 91裸聊视频淭rump factor91裸聊视频 because 91裸聊视频渢here is nothing I can say that is funnier that what the man is doing everyday online or on TV.91裸聊视频
