* Weighing in a day early as I’ll be without reliable Internet tomorrow. More importantly, I’ll be planting perennials because I am a GD gangsta. * Wassup, homies? Have I told you lately how kind it is of you to pop by? Well, it is. Someone out there popped in from New Mexico last week. I figure it was Jesse … Read More

Now I am 6…

Yesterday, I turned 6 years old as a comedian. Here are 21 things I have learned: 1. Getting into comedy for the money is like getting into triathlons for the rest. 2.

Making mammograms fun…

I went to Apple school last week for a course on iMovie. After Jamie showed us all the program could do, he warned us that it’s a common mistake to use too many effects, etc. in your movies.  So, of course, I now present to you a quick movie with way too much going on and lots of opportunities to … Read More

Old fish & Brett Martin…

Hi friends, I was recently at a gig in a town (name not important) with the lovely comedian, Brett Martin*.  It was a fundraiser in a hotel ballroom and the turnout was about 300. I was up first and could tell very quickly that they were a receptive, fun group. By five minutes in, things were simmering nicely and I … Read More
