When college doesn’t appeal to you, you can’t find a good job, and you have a hard time passing drug tests, you’re really only left with one career option, stand-up comedy. Geoff Tate discovered this life path only a few short years ago but is already making it work for him. Now as a professional comedian and freelance joke writer, Tate is living the dream; enjoying a life of sitting around, eating sandwiches, sleeping in and watching TV, that is, when he’s not up on stage. He has appeared on the nationally syndicated morning radio program The Bob and Tom Show and will be making his television debut on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham this summer.

About me: Live At Gotham
I do stand up comedy. I prefer baseball to the other sports, and I think you're wrong if you disagree with that. Football is for meatheads and basketball is for rap fans. I like sandwiches and sleeping late. I like to read and I hate the glorification of stupidity. Smart people are better than dumb people-by definition.
Who I'd like to meet: Hunter S. Thompson, Thompson's lawyer, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Petty, the Earl of Sandwich, people who know what the Alamo is all about, Kerouac, Mitch Hedberg, Jesus and/or Santa Claus, Bill Murray, Mark Grace, Peter Gammons, Warren Zevon, David Letterman, Al Franken, Bob Dylan, any member of Monty Python, Bill Cosby

Geoff! Congrats on the whole comedy gig - that's amazing. I always knew you were funny back in the day. Anyway, let me know if and when you are in Chicago. I'd love to rally up my troops and come see your show. Keep in touch! Lib
Thanks for the add. Saw you for the second time at Go Banana's on Thursday, and both times you were funnier than the headliner. Love the material, keep up the good work bud.
