Early life

Eddie Della Siepe was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. His father Antonio immigrated to Canada from Italy and his mother Elvia is from Peru. Della Siepe attended York Memorial Colligate Institute in Toronto, where he excelled in the drama program and was involved in many school productions.

In his early years he idolized Jim Carrey, and from the age of 12 he had aspirations of becoming a stand-up comedian. His first attempt at stand-up comedy was at age 17 while still attending high school, and with a lackluster experience he decided to wait until the time was right to attempt stand-up again.

While attending university he decided to focus on performing stand-up comedy again, and started performing at local amateur nights and open mics.
