Ezra and his comedy...
Ezra's Comedy Slam is coming November 16th. Be afraid, very afraid.
I had the chance to follow Ezra last night at Tymes Square. Thanks Tom, you're a pal. Actually I think Tom (the owner) was testing me to see if I could hold my own. I handled it and had fun too. Now I need to call Tom so he can book me in December so I can get paid.
Ezra is one of those comedians who shoot from the hip. He talks about getting beat by his parents as a child. When you see him it's like he's talking to friends. It is a comfortable atmosphere.
That was one of the first things I noticed about him three years ago. It took him almost two and a half years before he finally bore witness to one of my performances. He always came late to the show if he wasn't performing. This is because he has been taught by some of the best comics in the business. He is a Hip Hop Comedy Stop veteran from back in the day, and has had the opportunity to learn from the BIG BOYZ in the game from Steve Harvey, Cedric, Michael Colyar, J. Anthony Brown, and many others. Ezra just lives his life to be funny for his fans, and the strong arm for his family. You guys have to see him. He's too funny to be overlooked!

About me: What can I say> I'm a comedian trying to make it with my God given talents. I'm also a musician. I have a wonderful family that I love unconditionally, and my kids are my biggest fans. They really encourage me to be the best that I can be. I work hard, and I do believe that you can be successful in this industry without running to L.A. I used to think that do this a that and be successful, but nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream! Please don't sit on your talents. The world will never know what you can do! I love music (listening and making), so if you think you can go deep with music holla. Matter of fact, if you don't have High Voltage, or know the artist, then you can't go DEEP! As you can see I want to leave my footprints in the sand. Remember this: The Worst Thing In The World Is Wasted Talent!embed allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u=11782542" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426" height="320" wmode="transparent">
Chelsea (12 years old) performs Beethoven and Chopin at a church. Different musicians got together to share each others talents. It’s normally called a shed. Chelsea thought it was comical to hear other musicians reacting to her performance. Check it out.
