MESSIN' AROUND WITH GAY MARRIAGE...
in an Episode of the Sketch Serial "Sergio's Place" (below) We did 34 episodes total, a new one each week within the regular Gay Mafia shows. This one is 18. We did this at Club 66 in Hollywood where 3 weeks and 3 episodes later we were thrown out for proceeding with the marriage of the Navy Seals. (7:30)..

My Interests

SCHOOLS:
Cupertino High School, Strasberg Theatre Institute, Warner Brothers Comedy Writers Workshop

AFFILIATIONS:
www.thegaymafia.net, The Gay Mafia, Los Angeles Second Annual Improv Comedy Festival, Shock of the Funny , OTF, Out at WB

HOBBIES:
Conquest of the Universe, Comedy, gays, lesbians, secure straight people, improv comedy, sketch comedy, gay los angeles, lesbian los angeles, west hollywood, hollywood

I'd like to meet:

People that enjoy gay and lesbian, improv/sketch comedy or just plain COMEDY.

People who have astounding eccentric laughs.

Cher. Rik Mayall. Matthew McConaughey (shirtless), Lucy Lawless, Dame Edna, Mary Cheney, Cheetah, that guy that played Boone on "Lost" who they killed off! :-) BTW if you saw the 3/28/07 Lost, there was a flashback where that annoying Shannon told Boone to stop flirting with that hot whats-his-face with the accent at the airport! Ha!

If you are an ad for a credit card or some "earn 500 bucks easy" bullshit, or for some equally unctious corporate product, posing as a "friend" comment...well, please go cyber f**k yourself! The United States has corporate commercials coming out its ass as it is. The hand grenades we heave in Iraq probably have space available and sold on them that say: "Coca Cola is a blast!"

This is different than creative artists or cool queer orgs that post on our comments. We support that 100%
