About Me

I'm a quirky, silly, southern born New Yorker some 15 years now. I live in Fort Greene, Brooklyn in and I perform mostly in Manhattan. I've been at Barracuda (22nd/8th ave) on Wednesday nights now for, well, awhile. It's a cute crowd, sort of mixed (like me), and I mostly make fun of myself and anyone who may offend me (which is difficult to do). I'm also performing at the Ritz (46th/9th ave) in Hell's Kitchen on Monday nights when I'm in town. I'm a trained dancer, so I guess that's what I'm known for, but "hilarious" is something I get quite often. Been around the world performing, but am happy to call this home.

My Interests

Oil painting, photography, downtown theater, movies, motorcycling (yes, I have a bike), gardening, long walks on the beach (had to), and my precious pup.
