About Me

I'm a writer, comedian and computer skills instructor, not necessarily in that order. My various pursuits overlap, and every one helps the other in one way or another. I'm here in myspace because everyone tells me what a great place it is, and I hope it lives up to it's billing. I'm on the lookout for strange, unique and intelligent free spirits. Comedy has introduced me to a lot of people who fit this description, but I know there are more plenty more out there, and I'd like to meet them. I'm a brilliant madman and an amiable dinner companion. I like to listen as much as I like to talk. So pull up a chair, and tell me your story....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The stranger the better, but please, no outright lunatics, unless you're good looking and female. I can tolerate mental illness as long as someone is attractive. I'd like to network with fellow comedians, and I'd like to meet pornstars, strippers, and ladies of dubious morals, not necessarily in that order. If you are a drunk or have substance abuse issues, prepare to be mocked. If you are a recreational mind expander, that's cool, just don't expect me to babysit you (unless of course, you are good looking and female). And although I do not think of myself as prejudiced, I'd prefer to meet people who have all of their limbs.

The Cream of this Nation's Youth

The following is a submission I edited down for the Rant Acid column at SEE Magazine. Let's see if that pack of rabid leftists has the gonads to print it. P.S. for the purposes of brevity and to avoid...

Just lay there and think of the money

I did a gig tonight that I like to classify as a "bombing run". Shortly before the show was about to start, the guys running the show approach us and say "Our DJ bailed, can you stretch the show by ha...

Showcase Blues

I just finished up a Just For Laughs showcase at the Comic Strip tonight (November 22, 2006). Showcases are funny things. A few nights ago, I watched Sam Raimi's "The Quick and the Dead". Showcases ar...
