A former radio and nightclub dj, I began pursuing stand-up comedy seriously in March 2003. I've been lucky enough to be in a town with an active and vibrant comedy scene.
To better promote the Seattle comedy scene, I created the SeattleComedy.net website--an omnibus site that covers the comedy scene in the Pacific Northwest for the benefit of comedians and comedy fans alike.
In 2006, I joined a group of innovative thinking Seattle comedians known as the People's Republic of Komedy who are producing excellent alternative comedy shows in non-traditional venues.
As a member of PRoK, I became the producer of weekly showcase of the best comedy talent in the area called ComedyNight at The Mirabeau Room in Seattle. ComedyNight ran for 31 straight weeks, offering stand-up, sketch, music-based comedy and comedic short films in a very hip and cool venue for a new audience towards seeing live comedy.
The venue closed, the show ended and I am no longer officially a PRoK member, although I continue to support their efforts to bring fresh new comedy talent to new audiences here in Seattle.
After performing in front of a standing room only crowd at the 2006 Bumbershoot festival, becoming a featured performer in Seattle and a headlining performer on the road...my goal for 2007 is to push out further and perform in new markets. So far, I've been lucky enough to perform at ACME in Minneapolis, Comedy Club on State in Madison and The Comedy Spot in Scottsdale...so that plan seems to be working!
Oh...and some of you might recognize my exceedingly long posts on a variety of comedy-based online message boards.
