JON FOX's Blurbs |
About me:
An independent person who supports himself and his family by producing live stand-comedy; a promoter of free expression and new ideas who nonetheless appreciates tradition.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
People with a sense of humor who realize that just because someone is on TV doesn't mean they're especially talented, actually anyone who has an area of expertise they are willing to talk about.
