This myspace page is dedicated to my comedy efforts. For example, from July 2006 to February 2007, I performed improv on a Sunday or two a month with team DragonFly -- the BattleProv team produced by The ComedySportz Chicago Training Center. From June 2008 to August 2008, I performed on a few Wednesday nights with team Grand Theft Awesome -- the Rec League team produced by The ComedySportz Chicago Training Center.
The new ComedySportz Chicago Theatre is open, 929 W. Belmont, Chicago, Il. Check it out! (Oh yeah, in the name of disclosure, I'm now Associate Producer.)
Maybe one of these days I'll get to perform a bit more.
I'm also a 2007 graduate of The Second City Training Center Writing Program. The culmination of the program after Level 5 was the production of a show in Donny's Skybox Theatre (Piper's Alley, 4th Floor). I'm proud to have been a co-writer of Abandon Relationship! which made its sold-out debut on Friday, January 5, 2007 and sold out each of its performances Fridays at 9 p.m. on January 12, 19, 26 and February 2, 2007. The show had a great cast and musical director, and was expertly directed. My direct contributions to the show are the lyrics for an original song and a sketch.

On January 19, 2007, I shot video of the show -- here's the song "Chicago is Your Nanny Now" as it appeared in the show.
Or, if you're having problems viewing the MySpace-hosted video, check it out on YouTube.
A Demo version the song with some lyrics slightly different than the final show lyrics can be heard in a separate window here (Note: file size ~4 MB).

Okay? And now, some of my photos...
