Glamour's Next Jake? You Decide!

About Me

I am a comedian from Comedy Central and VH1-- the ALARM CLOCK below plays tracks from my CD "Welcome to Somerville"! I am a 6 foot Gemini who enjoys the color blue. I like sleeping late and fettuccini, and loathe the sound of honking horns. While generally convivial, I am most fun after coffee.
