About Me

I am not Italian. I am a stand-up comedian and writer living in Brooklyn, New York. I grew up in Madison, New Jersey where my father, an elementary school gym teacher, taught me about life through dodgeball. In high school I was elected class clown (it was a landslide). I attended the University of Delaware where I studied film, fronted a cover band called Snackplate and hurdled things for the track team. In 1999, I started telling jokes on stage in New York City... the exciting conclusion to this story can be found in my Comedian Bio to the left.....

Blog Entry 1

I have a sprained ankle and a stomach flu. And now I'm going to watch Bush address the nation. Could be the worst day of my life.
