About Me

I began doing Standup Comedy at the dinner table when I was 9 years old. It was always the same people setting down front every night? I burned through so much material back then.I would describ myself as a bit brash, over the top, fat guy with great deal of energy on stage who will take a chance on some new material every now and again, but if it means a steady gig, I will just do the stuff that got him the gig.I love the sound of beef tips simmering in olive oil, and surrounding that with a freshly chopped onions and maybe a few teaspoons of Worchestershire sauce and mushrooms....I still love my wife's laugh, and I do love dogs, I can get mad but I am not cruel. I have a very explosive temper when it comes to little things that piss me off. My wife often times calms me down and slaps me upside the head to keep me mellow! I have a loud and distinct laugh, I can't help it and I have to let it out.I have a sick-love for the business I am in. I love Standup Comedy, always have and always will. I have been furtunate enough to be able to manage and hire the talent at a long standing club called Wiseacres Comedy Club. I have tried to make it a place where new comics can flourish while at the same time we mix up the weekend road talent to always keep the stage fresh. Young comics make me proud and digusted simultaneously. I still admire people who lay it on the line night after night and city after city.I am an old comic, but not quite as bitter as I should be (So all my other comedy friends tell me). And yes I am just crazy enough to believe that I will be a 20 year over night success story.PS BUY MY DVD "MAKING SANDWICHES!"
