As an aboriginal comedian, Howie Miller has taken it upon himself to let everyone know Indigenous people have a great sense of humour.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 a pretty easy going comedian who thinks that everyone should laugh and I try to find the humour in everything,害羞草研究所� Miller said.

Miller will be bringing to Lake Country on Friday as the opening performer for the Creekside Theatre 2017-18 season.

Miller害羞草研究所檚 show, called Train Wreck Comedy, is about trying to make comedy accessible to all, he says.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 not just a 害羞草研究所榥ative comedian.害羞草研究所� I害羞草研究所檓 a comedian who happens to be native,害羞草研究所� he said.

Still, in a historic nod to his own culture, he does poke fun at the Canada 150 celebrations.

害羞草研究所淪ome people have been here longer. I do poke fun at myself for being mistaken for every other race besides being native.害羞草研究所�

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 害羞草研究所渨e managed to figure things out.害羞草研究所�

Miller was recently featured in the Showtime special No Reservations Needed and can also be heard on CBC Radio害羞草研究所檚 popular show 害羞草研究所淭he Debaters.害羞草研究所�

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 doesn害羞草研究所檛 want to appear 害羞草研究所渙ne-sided害羞草研究所� on a given issue.

害羞草研究所淭hat gets in the way of making everyone laugh,害羞草研究所� he explained. 害羞草研究所淏ut be warned, if I害羞草研究所檓 ever elected prime minister, there害羞草研究所檚 going to be some changes.害羞草研究所�

Miller adds he also steers clear of the 害羞草研究所淭rump factor害羞草研究所� because 害羞草研究所渢here is nothing I can say that is funnier that what the man is doing everyday online or on TV.害羞草研究所�
