Early life
Peter Benedict Holmes was born in Boston on March 30, 1979, the son of a Lithuanian refugee mother and an American father of Irish descent.

He performed in a punk rock band and appeared in The Sweaty-Toothed Madmen, an improvisational comedy troupe.

He spent time in Sleepy Hollow, New York, before heading to Chicago and later Los Angeles, finding no success as a comedian in his home state.
