Carl Kozlowski's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | I was born feet first, which is how i jump into all things in life.
I’ve been a subway vigilante with the Guardian Angels, performed dangerous circus tricks in front of a crowd of 3000 people, spent four days whoring myself as an inflatable Cheesasaurus for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, done 12 naughty things in a weekend while dressed as Santa, done major exposes on both Lyndon LaRouche AND Scientologists, and had hundreds of homeless people cheer for me last June because they thought i was really Michael Moore.
There’s a lot more to it - just read my blog that I’ll be building here and the one that exists at my other Myspace page, www.myspace.com/carlkoz. There’s about 70 stories and essays there including major profiles of Michael Moore, Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia, Jon Lovitz and tons of other famous peeps.
Oh yeah - I forgot to mention that my family nearly got kicked out of Disney World on Christmas Day. Just go read about it!!!!!
All the fun is at:
MY HILARIOUS OCCASIONALLY SERIOUS AND STAR-PACKED BLOG ON MY OTHER MYSPACE PAGE
I’m also a standup comic at the Laugh Factory, Comedy Store and Ice House in LA, Laugh Factory and Standup New York in NYC and Zanies in Chicago to name a few.
Am am to release my second humor book with Tim Joyce, called "Seize the Dayjob! The Humor Book Al Qaeda Kept You from Reading" in December and am about to launch major live comedy/music shows in LA and am producing and starring in a TV pilot that will reinvent how people see LA. | | Website | Coming in next month or so...more details then. It’ll be a fun one. | | Influences | In standup, smart (mostly) clean funny...Ray Romano, Dane Cook, Patton Oswalt, Bill Cosby.
In comedic viewpoint of the world, DAVID LETTERMAN.
In writing essays, DAVID SEDARIS.
In writing movies, the FARRELLY BROTHERS and JUDD APATOW and JOHN HUGHES.
I’ve worked onstage with Dane Cook, Dave Chappelle, Lewis Black, Mitch Hedberg (RIP), Jake Johansen, Mike O’Connell, Jay Davis and many more. | | Members | Laugh Factory baby.
Southland Publishing the coolest newspaper company in America.
Razor 7 Publishing - about to blow up as the hippest publishing house in the US of A. | | TV Shows | Spent several years on Chicago's late great Nude Hippo Show.
Did funny on-air reporting for CLTV in Chicago.
Am filming a pilot that will blow your mind right now in LA. | | Films | No big films, though I currently have one co-written with Henry Scott called "Labor Daze" that has six major players looking at it. The writers' strike will put that on hold though. It feels good to be close to breakthrough finally though. A live reading of "Labor Daze" featured the talents of "SNL" star Victoria Jackson, Fox and NBC sitcom star Brian Scolaro, "Spongebob Squarepants" himself Tom Kenny and HBO "Tourgasm" star Jay Davis.
In shorts, I cowrote and acted in a short called "Curb Your Evangelism" that skewers televangelists and their entourage and won two awards and had six overall nominations at the 168 Film Festival in 2006 and did a sequel for that fest in 2007 that featured a celebrity poker game with Kato Kaelin of all people. The real Kato. And Ron Jeremy. I was afraid to shake Ron's hand though. 'Cause you DO know where it's been. All too well.
Am about to star and produce in a short i wrote with my best bud Allan Turner Ward called "One Rubbish Robbery." If all goes well we have Victoria Jackson of "SNL" fame in it with us. | | Albums | None that I've made yet,
but I have a huge comedy CD collection.
Early George Carlin is what made me wanna do standup.
David Letterman gave me my sense of purpose in life. Im finally hitting my stride so keep your eyes open. |

Carl Kozlowski's Interests
|
| General | Writing and performing comedy, watching comedy, talking about comedy and well, you get the picture.
I also shockingly am hardcore into the middle of an exercise program (lost 40 pounds since April!), plus bike riding, movies, baseball, tipping brews and ranting humorously about shit i can't change. | | Music | A full list is at my other Myspace site: www.myspace.com/carlkoz
Basics: Loud fast pop: Soul Asylum, Fountains of Wayne, Replacements and the only band that matters, The Clash.
Wait one other band matters now: DEAD BLONDE GIRLFRIEND... Check 'em out theyr'e on Myspace.
AND THE BOSS... BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!!! | | Movies | There's Something About Mary, 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, Ferris Bueller and Office Space are probably my top five. I've seen thousands of others and am in the midst of writing about tons of them at my Facebook page. Don't know that address, but search me as Carl Kozlowski. | | Television | THE OFFICE (US) is my favorite show of all time.
Moonlighting, Everybody Loves Raymond, Mary Tyler Moore, Titus, SNL when it's good (which it sometimes still is), and 24 are my main obsessions.
Don't go near me within 100 yards if you have spoilers on "24" during the season.
Oh and I watch way too many VH1 specials like "I Love the '80s." | | Books | Catch 22, Garp, anything by DAVID SEDARIS. | | Heroes | Ray Romano (many reasons), Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and anyone who dares speak their minds right now.
Anyone who speaks truth to power, comedically or otherwise. Meaning Bill Maher is way up there. |

Carl Kozlowski's Blurbs |
About me:
Shameless, funny, bleeding heart liberal who will always try to help others when possible. I love jumping in fountains, taking chances, never saying no to anything except drugs (and no it's not 'cause Nancy Reagan said to say no - how many dead fuckers do you need to see before people stop thinking heroin or coke is cool?).
Rampant ADD, voracious writer, obsessed with all things comedy. Read my blog at my other page 'cause it's too damn big to replicate here:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&Mytoken=60007D2C-1861-450D-B3D3A7550E8AB46B27851932
You'll see people that i've met and dangerous crap i've done like riding shotgun in a 125 mph road race against Bo Duke himself through 90 miles of Nevada desert. He was driving a General Lee. As a guy who grew up in Arkansas, it was probably the most amazing moment of my life. And then I spent three days getting sick because the virtual G forces of the race spun my insides round like a washing machine on fast cycle.
Just read the blog and add me. Thanks!
COME CHECK THIS OUT!!! SERIOUSLY CHECK IT OUT!!!

Who I'd like to meet:
I've met tons of folks you can read about already on my blog at my other Myspace page:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&Mytoken=60007D2C-1861-450D-B3D3A7550E8AB46B27851932
Dane Cook, Jay Davis, Jon Lovitz, Michael Moore, Carlos Mencia are just five of the big folks I've written about here in LA.
I'd still like to meet Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and Lorne Michaels. And Ron Paul if he becomes president.
