What would you take into the house and why?

Fun facts about yourself:


 * I started my comedy career at 16-years-old doing stand-up comedy in Ottawa, Canada.
 * In the ‘90s I studied TV broadcasting in college and created a new kind of reality comedy that incorporated home video cameras with man on the street pranks and guerilla interviews.
 * I was in a rap group when I was a teenager called “Organized Rhyme.” We had a hit song in Canada called “Check The O.R.”
 * I did one of the first online streaming internet talk shows in the early 2000’s where we broadcast “Tom Green’s House Tonight” from my living room.
 * I am an avid skateboarder and was signed as a pro skater to Tony Hawk’s Birdhouse skateboards.
 * I produce music and write songs and have a new album coming out on vinyl this year called “This Is The Tom Green Show!” Available in April on Record Store Day.
 * I will be on a world stand-up comedy tour this year performing in cities across America and around the world.  The tour will take me to San Francisco, Toronto, Nashville, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore…   and many many more exciting places.
