Career

Mandlsohn began performing in clubs at 17, and began touring the U.S. and Canada during college. He was a substitute teacher before being able to move into stand-up full-time.[1] He is known for his family-friendly comedy that, in the words of one reviewer, "reins it in before it becomes too naughty."[3] He was a member of Los Angeles improv troupe the Groundlings.[4] He had his own half-hour special in 2007 on the Canadian series Comedy Now!.[5]

He was a guest on two episodes of Canadian radio comedy show The Debaters. Mandlsohn has also had acting roles in several television series, including a CIA staffer in a 2010 episode of Nikita,[6] a guard in a 2016 episode of 12 Monkeys,[7] and a landlord in Leslie Nielsen's final film, 2010's Stonerville.[8]

He has also played semi-professional trampoline dodgeball.[9]
