Biography
Someone recently told me that I’m 2/3 Peter Pan, 1/3 responsible adult. I’m no math genius, but what about the other third? Anyway, from the time I was an actual child I’ve been building an arsenal of characters, impressions and stories that help me get through life, work through my mother issues, and, as a byproduct, entertain others.
My struggles have played out for the amusement of people across the country in legendary venues such as The Comedy Store, StandUp NY, Comic Strip, Flappers, Caroline´s and The Ice House’s Stage 2, where I headlined. By the way, in talking about the p
... laces I play, I tend to use words like legendary and iconic (since I’m neither, yet). So get used to it.
In addition to work in Film & Television, I’ve voiced numerous characters for brands and weirdos who like to hear voices but can’t do them on their own. I’ve also written several cult films featuring spaceships and bikinis.
I did something even God has not done: created a “A Woman with 3 Nuts”. It’s a very strange and entertaining musical stand-up comedy show that plays regularly at the iconic Pig ‘N Whistle in Hollywood. My costar in the show is the beautiful and funny Tiffany King. A uniquely gifted musician and storyteller named Brian Francis helps take this thing to another level.
I don’t include personal information in my bio, because as a comedian I talk enough about that stuff onstage. If you’re interested in me as a person, ask one of my wives or any number of my kids.
