About Me

I use this Myspace site to post video and send bulletins of upcoming shows. Visit http://www.comedyrocket.com to find out more about me, and http://www.myspace.com/erichainesmusic to listen to my songs. I’m interested in all forms of comedy, especially visual comedy. If there’s a viable form of good comedy that is disrespected by the stand-up comedy community, I’m for it.
