About me: Your average terrier-walking, Pratchett-reading, struggling Bostonian who's one of those strange 'new vaudeville' wannabes: equal parts stand-up comic, writer, actor, clown and performance artist. (Please note that I haven't said I'm actually *good* at any of these).
I also make different varieties of truffles, and am in the process of taking the first steps in turning this from a hobby into a business.
Currently I'm working with the Ren Faire/Event troupes Phoenix Swords and Pastimes, and whoever knows my phone number and suddenly, urgently needs a dancing artichoke.
Who I'd like to meet: Friends and collaborators. Oh, and chocoholics.
