Peter Benedict Holmes (born March 30, 1979) is an American comedian,

actor, writer, producer, and podcaster. Holmes is known for his

cheerful personality, self-aware humor, and musings on spirituality

and religion, which are all frequent themes across his works.Holmes

was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His mother is a Lithuanian refugee.

He attended Lexington High School and Gordon College in Wenham,

Massachusetts. He played in a punk rock band. In college, he majored

in English and Communications, and he participated in an

improvisational comedy troupe, The Sweaty-Toothed Madmen. Partly at

the behest of his mother, Holmes had plans on becoming a youth pastor.

This gave way to public speaking, and eventually his love for comedy

and his devolving faith in God (he now refers to himself as

"Christ-leaning" or jokingly, a "hooratheist") won over his need to

preach. Holmes got married at 22, the same age he began performing

stand-up comedy, and he divorced at 28 after his then-wife had an

affair. Finding little success, he lived in Sleepy Hollow, New York

and Chicago before moving to Los Angeles.Holmes has appeared on Comedy

Central's Premium Blend, as a regular panelist on VH1's Best Week

Ever, and on VH1's All Access. His cartoons have appeared in The New

Yorker. In 2010, he performed on John Oliver's New York Stand Up Show

as well as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. On February 26, 2010, he

performed his first television special on the series Comedy Central

Presents. On March 21, 2011 and on November 17, 2011, he appeared on

the TBS talk show Conan.Holmes has provided the voices for several of

the characters on Comedy Central's cartoon Ugly Americans. He was the

voice of the E-Trade baby on several television commercials and was

credited as a writer for those commercials.
