"People use to laugh when I told them I wanted to be a stand-up comedian.... well nobody's laughing now"
I was the host of the Comedy CO-OPs Thursday open mic night.
R.I.P. Comedy CO-OP, you were well loved
People often ask me, why did you rename the show
“Sink or SURF Thursdayâ€
? Well, I wanted to add a new pizaz to the show, beyond just another open mic. So I asked other comics for possible name suggestions. The first one I got was “brutal amateur comedy night Thursdays†and I thought that was a little rough and lacked a zing! Then I got “crash and burn Thursday’sâ€. Well that was a little better but I wanted something more positive. Then I got “how about you call it terrible comic after terrible comic to the point of where I want to place a shotgun into my mouth… Thursdays?â€, and I said, “listen Mark Whitney, that is enough suggestions out of you!â€

About Me:
I am an electrical engineer, and I do stand-up comedy. I realize that is a rare combination since some of my colleagues..... well let's just say I'm the funny one. Originally from Peterborough Ontario Canada, then made the big move to Toronto, then Bellville, then Thunder Bay, then Edmonton, very briefly in Saskatoon, but now I now live in San Diego California USA. Basically every move I made for the past 6 years was bringing me closer to the North Pole.
I've put my time in.... I am never leaving San Diego.
