I'm 41, married, and have been a working stand up comic in the Boston area since 1987. I have MS, which I believe I got from aspartame poisoning, from drinking Diet Cokes over a extended period of time. On 9-11 I was lying in bed with aspartame poisoning. I had double vision that lasted for many months, I couldn't walk straight, speak clearly, and had crushing depression. I removed the Aspatame from my diet and I started to do better. I can see straight, and talk alright, I still struggle with the MS though.When I tried to discuss this with people I was met with disbelief and ridicule.My looking into the 9-11 attack was treated the same way. I believe that 9-11 was a false flag attack perpetrated by agents of a foreign nation inside the US government.Needless to say I have trust issues. I still laugh, create, and enjoy people despite this.I continue to perform stand up and teach classes in it. I write, and act. I played two roles in the indipendant film "Overserved". I am now staring in another indipendant film entitiled "Boston Psychiactric" which is currently in production. I was also a featured guest on the Comedy Central animated show Dr Katz:professional therapist.I host one of the last pure open mics in the city. I put on any one who shows up; seasoned pros, new acts, and the crazy. There is no cover, it is not a bringer show, and the bar puts out free pizza(limited supply). I call the show the "Comedy Soup Kitchen" come by and see why. It has run every wednesday night for over three and half years. To get on arrive by 8:30. The show is located at the Emerald Isle at 1501 Dorchester Ave, Dorchester, MA.If you're interested in a comedy class you can contact me for that too.
