Clients range from car lots, health food stores to gentlemen's clubs. I"ve also been on many national tv shows i.e. "The Tonight Show w/Jay Leno", "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Maury Povich Show". ("As seen On TV" is tattooed on my arm.) I'm a Fantastic Stand Up Comedian and have worked All the Clubs and with the most famous names in comedy (the biggest: my hero - Richard Pryor).
