Albums
’Pump First Pay Later’ copyright around 1990. Has homeless girl joke on it that has been stolen uh, borrowed by sooooooooo many other comics who try to claim it. However they just can’t seem to beat that copyright date...I wonder why? Of course this joke has appeared in ’3000 Miles to Graceland’
You’re welcome script writers of Hollywood.
I have to laugh when other comics talk about being ’lifted from’...my maid joke is one that is historical as to how many comics have ’borrowed’ it. If you don’t know it goes like this...
"The hotel maid knocked on my door and said she had to come in and clean up. I said sure...so she came in took a shower and left!"
bang zip now that’s a joke people LOL.
This is yet another joke of mine that was 'borrowed'-found it's way into movie!..and I haven't seen a dollar... now that is real show business ;)...not the good part-but part.
Chili's Interests
General
Growing spiritually so much so that I may levitate. Martial arts. Ghost hunting.
Developing a creative setting where people can learn stand up comedy and comedy writing. Helping people.
Music
Born to 50's and 60's rock but I love whatever moves the soul. Big fan of Mozart and John Lennon/Beatles....and Yoko.
Movies
Loved 'Animal House', 'Arthur', 'Amadeus', 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' 'Jumong' 'Jarhead' 'Full Metal Jacket' 'Pulp Fiction' 'Sling Blade'
'Passion of the Christ'
Almost anything with Bill Murray in it.
Television
Basically stupid but pays a lot of money when you're working on a network show...thank Buddha money isn't everything.
Working for NBC and the 'Tonight Show' was big bucks but NEVER made me happy. You have to have your place and assembly line jokes just ain't it...I can do it...but it AIN'T it brother.
Currently a creative consultant for CMT's 'Mabe in America' comedy show.
Also appeared in series such as A&E's 'Comedy on the Road' but I didn't like my set....got laughs but thought I was off the mark. Also appeared on Tonight Show. Wrote along with my friend John Riggi for Pulitzer prize winning political humorist Mike Peters in a syndicated news insert called 'Pen of Mike Peters'
Did other TV stuff when forced to.
TV I like to watch...CNN, MSNBC, 'Deadwood', 'Six Feet Under', Generation Kill, Californication, '24', 'The Wire', been a fan of 'Cops' since the beginning and yes 'American Idol'. I have friends that wrote or write and/or directed for shows like '30 Rock', Bernie Mac, 'The Comeback', 'Entourage', 'Larry Sanders' etc so I felt obligated to watch...however enjoyed.
Books
Strictly on tape or CD.
Seriously though 'The Artist Way'... Cynthia True's 'American Scream' the Bill Hicks story. The 'Bible. "Cosmic Conciousness 'Interview with a Vampire'. 'Writer's Market'.
Heroes
People that take a moment to be kind, encourage, support and make peace...anybody that has purpose and a message.
The woman I will spend the rest of my life with Vicky Jo Bobzean.
About me: Known as the spiritual surfer from Cincinnati but now from LA. Pure comedian all my life. First did stand up in the 5th grade. After a quarter century performing and getting a chance to write for and spend time with many famous comics including Jay Leno I can honestly say I love stand up more than ever before. I am not the slightest bit jaded and I'm still growing and getting a great deal of satisfaction from helping others grow.
I think I'd have to kill myself if I did the very same show night after night. Tonight Show was like that...TOO much the same ol' same ol'.
I have contributed to Pulitzer Prize winner Mike Peters political ideas and wrote for the national comic strip 'Mother Goose and Grimm'.
Also wrote and performed many many times on the nationally syndicated 'Bob and Tom' show. Video of me can be seen on their website. 'Laugh Hole' thing or something like that.
Who I'd like to meet: Unselfish non-arrogant honest people. True artists. Not enough of those types in Hollywood. LA is a place where they pass out the 'genius' label like airlines hand out 'party mix'.
Yea I had to get this booked and get the PR rolling. Wish I knew you was going to be in town- I just had to replace a guy. IF you want to come do a spot for the video- let me know, I will make a spot.
hey sir, just checkin' in...still going strong. My first time on stage was six months ago today...my life is in such a better place now. Thanks for having such a positive impact on me.
Thank you, sir. Actually you will see me this weekend at Walter Payton's... I'm taking your class, and Bert said he had some open slots for Friday and Saturday and I was like "I VOLUNTEER!!" so he said I could do that too... See ya this weekend.
You absolutely ROCK!!! We can not thank you enough for the addition, and the support. If you get a chance, please check out our new songs, profile, and sign our guestbook!! Thanks again! Have a great weekend!!
Hello Chili, Thanks for your kindness & for allowing me to be a part of your Myspace world. I'm honored;) Cheers to your continued inspiration & success! ~peace~ xox Julia
hey sweetie, got a big favor to ask...Hotel Cafe on june 8th, I need a big crowd there for that show, can you help out? tell people, tell yourself, show up, clap and scream loudly, bring 20 people? yes? :) thank you for reading this far! will I see ya? xo lelia
Thanks for noticing I was gone, Chili! I get the feeling that I am no longer welcome there as Dan has said some untrue and unfair things. Oh well...Leaves that are green turn to brown. Hopefully I'll have a new spot open in September (with no partners to addle things up this time). Peace.
