About Me


Welcome! I'm an ambitious guy with a lot to say. I get my fix as a professional comedian. I'm also a writer and hope to one day produce the funniest show ever made in Canada (it's already written, I just have to find a netowrk to air it). So have a look around, watch the videos, drop me a comment, read my blog. Oh, the fun is endless!

CTV's e-Talk Daily

Sun TV's Inside Jam

My Interests

Writing, playing music, evolving, reading, movies.

I'd like to meet:

John Lennon, Bill Hicks, Brian Wilson, Ghandi, Andy Dufresne, and Homer Simpson.

Music:

Movies:

The Sting, The Shawshank Redemption, Jackrabbit Parole (it's already written, I just have to find somebody to help me make it!)

Yes, I have one.

Books:

Yes, I have one.

the secret

comedians are the new dentists

RIP Richard Jeni.For those of you who don't already know, comedian Richard Jeni killed himself. I know that comics do feel a bond so when something like this happens it sucks. That said, I'm never r...

the chapters

it's important to recognize chapters. no, not the book store. i'm talking about the chunks, sections, and periods of your life that come to an end. chapters can be experiences we have in any regard. a...

2006

This has been a strange year for me. I'm finding it difficult to find the right adjective to describe it. "Squishy" comes to mind. 2006, for me, was like holding something in your hand that's "squishy...
