About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
I'm a stand-up comic and writer based in New York City, originally from Nashville, TN (but I'm not a guitar act). You can hear me regularly on XM, Sirius, and various syndicated shows. You may have seen me on VH-1, CMT, or CNN Headline News doing some comedic commentary. I also tour overseas every year to entertain our military...truly the greatest experience of my career. Living in NYC is incredible, but I still stay on the road on occasion working various clubs, so drop by a show....unless you're with a bachelorette party.
My humor is a combination of clever cynicism and boyish dorkiness to entertain everyone from college kids to their parents to drunk and rowdy types, because there's a piece of my personality that fits every one of those kinds of people. It's really for everyone, except bachelorette parties. Good Lord, I can't emphasize that last point enough.
