Growing up watching the cast of Whose Line was an education in comedy and having Colin on the show was like catching up with that one professor whose brain you weren’t done picking yet. Just an absolute blast talking about how he got into comedy, wanting to be a marine biologist, his TV upbringing, awkward teen years, Whose Line stories, dabbling in Stand-Up, how he met Ryan Stiles, his wife, and touring with Brad Sherwood. Enjoy!
