What comic did this routine about Mr. T?

I heard a routine on the radio by a comic (Canadian, perhaps?) in which he talked a length about his hero worship of Mr. T as a child. It had me in stitches. Please tell me this guy's name.
My google-fu has failed. The comic's delivery was kind of deadpan, which made it even more funny. I remember a specific part of the act where he talked about Mr. T instructing him not to talk to strangers. The follow-up was that he had made this promise to Mr. T, but that because he was now an adult he wanted Mr. T to "release him from this pact". He went on at length about many other Mr. T related things. He never did an impression of Mr. T mind you. It was kind of oddly respectful but hilarious.

I so want Mr. T to post a reply video in which he releases that guy from the pact.
