But Carrey felt constrained, and often refused to do his act, instead angering audiences with existential yak, song and dance, and bizarre material intended to piss the audience off. In his most famous early-career bit, he made thalidomide jokes and crawled on-stage as "Worm Boy," an armless and legless character.
He was still doing stand-up comedy, and very successfully on the nights when he did his standard impressions and jokes. His first steady paychecks came as opening act for Linda Ronstadt and, later, Rodney Dangerfield. By age 19, he was the club's headliner.Īs a young unknown, Carrey appeared in a few Canadian films before moving to Los Angeles. Devastated, he spent countless hours over the next two years reworking and refining his material, and when he returned to Yuk Yuk's, Carrey was a hit. He bombed, literally getting "the hook" from the manager. Carrey, meanwhile, made his stand-up debut at 15, on open-mike night at the first Yuk Yuk's comedy club. When the family's finances continued to sink, the Carreys lost their home and lived in a Volkswagen van, traveling to various campgrounds on the outskirts of Toronto. Carrey worked as a janitor, and eventually dropped out of high school. He was in his early teens when his father, an accountant, was laid off, and all the family's kids went to work to help make ends meet.
