Given the success of the office and relatively little success of his stand up, the order of his jobs feels wrong, is there a rule for the order that should be used?
IMO he's most famous for
1. writer 2. film producer 3. director 4. actor 5. Atheist 6. stand-up comedian 7. musician
And to be honest he's probably more famous for doing hot takes on stuff than any of his stand-up material

It is a bit odd to include past tour dates so prominently on the Wiki. It is not going to be interesting to anyone in the future. It makes more sense to say he visited those places in a tour, in a sentence describing it. Rather than its own table. Perennial Student ( talk) 10:29, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
I've removed this film from his filmography. It's not listed on his IMDB page, nor is he listed on the film's IMDB page. I can also find no other reference online to him having appeared in the film. The full film is at the time of writing available to watch on Youtube and I skipped to the credits to check if he's there and he isn't. I suspect it may have been vandalism when it was added originally; if he was in the film it was uncredited, but (for obvious reasons) I'm unwilling to actually sit through the film to double check if he's definitely not in it.
