About Me

Hey everyone. I'm Sullivan Smith. Since you're here, give me a moment to tell you about myself. Or you can just keep looking for people to sleep with. I may be a lot of things, but one thing I'm not is someone who's going to tell you what to do. I was born in Mansfield, OH in 1978. Mansfield's claim to fame, as far as I can tell, is that The Shawshank Redemption was filmed there. In the local prison. Another thing Mansfield and prison has in common is that I've been avoiding both since I was born. Technically I've been doing stand-up comedy since I was in the sixth grade. I've only been doing it well since I was 17. I actually wanted to make a career out of it then. Sadly, when I was 17, I made a smart-ass remark to a teacher in school, who responded with "Yeah. Everyone's a comedian." Upon taking him literally, I want to go work for Radio Shack instead. Here's a hint to all young people: never, ever listen to your gym teacher. Ever. I've been married and divorced and driven to the point of going clinically insane. These things aren't not entirely related. Comedians don't need therapists. That's why they're comedians. Come to a Sullivan Smith show and feel a little bit better about yourself.

My Interests

Bringing glory to mother Russia and the Soviet State. Wait, we won the Cold War? I can stop sucking up to them now?

I'd like to meet:

Large crowds with lots of money who laugh at anything.If you’re interested in having a conversation with me using modern internet technology, you can IM me using Americans On Line! Instant Messaing Program under the screen names SullivanSmithYo and RedMenaceMedia.Sullivan Smith at Molly Malone’s in Covington, KY

Music:

If it's got a beat and you can dance to it, I fucking hate it. On the other hand, I like a lot of Irish music, old school punk and I love love LOVE Guided By Voices.

Movies:

I've actually been cast in the independent production MMSBC, produced by Main Moon Productions .

Television:

I normally don't like a lot of TV, but I'm really into Heroes. (I nearly typed Herpes. That would have been amusing)
