About Me

My Stand-Up is conversational, a little quirky and very much driven by my point of view. I want my comedy to feel like you're listening to some classic "A Tribe Called Quest" while enjoying a fun-sized Snicker bar you got "trick or treating"! The comedy game these days seems to be more about how hard you sell yourself; instead of creating something that's actually worth selling! I strive to offer something SPECIAL. When I first started doing comedy I just wanted to be FUNNY. Over time, I decided to be FUNNY MY WAY. There's a big difference! I'm not interested in doing the same tired stuff everybody else is doing! Some have described my comedy as being "SMART". Maybe it is? I think it just comes out that way! I don't go into it thinking, "Today I'm going to write a really clever joke! I want to make you laugh first...and if I can get you to THINK on top of that...then it's fun and poppin! Above all, I stay true to "My Thing". If you like how I get down...Enjoy the Show...if not, I can't help you if you ain't ready for the GOOD SHIT!

My Interests

Killer Punchline's, My Ipod, Great Movies, Attention to detail, The One-Inch Punch, Laughing 'til it hurts, Hitting a deep game winner, Fresh Sneakers (OG Jordans, Dunks, Jabbar's, Blazer SB, Chuck Taylor's, Vans, etc.) Large trash bags filled with $$$$, Inner beauty, NBA socks, Fighting crime & injustice, and Staying ahead of the pack! "I went on first the night (Michael Richards from Seinfeld) lost his mind! l can be a hard act to follow but didn't mean to make him go Klu Klux Kramer!"

I'd like to meet:

Someone with the magic dust to take my career to the highest level. "Oprah, I need you right now!"

Here’s what GLOOB said about MICHAEL VICKS SCHOOL FOR DISOBEDIENT DOGS

PETA will not be amused by this spoof that sets up the Atlanta Falcons' quarterback, facing jail time for his alleged role in a dogfighting ring, as a streetwise dog whisperer of sorts. This up-to-the...
