My Interests

This comedy bug hit me and the best description is it is now a compulsion, fortunately I love it, unfortunately my wife and kids do not share said compulsion. When I'm not working or spending time with my family I am working on my set, and hitting open mikes when ever I can. There is no substitution for experience. I am trying to juggle it all, if you are a praying person say one for me. Thanks

I'd like to meet:
