Band Members:
Brandon Wardell, The Rooster, Brandon Sean Wardell. Basically, these are the three names that you can search for me under. At the beginning of my career I thought it was a good idea to have all three names as my professional name. After a short time, I discovered that 20 letters on a Marquee was not IMpressive, but was INsane!
Influences: From a very young age, I was inspired by the many great comedians of our time. The first man to inspire me to be an actor was Red Skelton. I saw a Christmas Special of Red on TV as a small boy and decided then and there that I wanted to be a clown! Well, things evolved and with the help of Danny Kaye, Dick Van Dyke, Lucille Ball, and Red Foxx to name a few. I took to comedy because "real life sucks sometimes" and have made it his quest to bring people pain only in their sides and/or faces from laughter. Musically, I was raised in a household where my Dad was a very successful Southern Rock musician. I wanted to be in a band since I was in the womb basically. I was also infulenced by my Grandfather to get out into the world and discover and make things. I essentially grew up around a bunch of creative, talented, wonderful people who showed me that a creative life is a lot of fun and has rewards beyond imagination!
