The Boston Globe called me "truely hilarious" and since they are owned by the New York Times, I guess the Times thinks so too. The Boston Herald said my Car Talk parody was "dead on." I don’t know who owns the Herald. I’m sure it’s someone or something important.
I’ve done all kinds of the funny. Sketch, Standup, Improv. I was once in a play with 11 cast members and we commonly had 4-8 people in the audience. That’s a weird experience. I thought one night we should have rushed the audience. We had number superiority and the element of surprise.
Did a lot of improv in San Diego and Los Angeles. Quick game stuff and longer improvs. My favorite improv shows are Beer Shark Mice at the ImprovOlympic and the Transformers featuring Scott Waineo and Harry Haningan. Both fast and funny longforms. Enjoy!

Thank you for "friending" the Laugh4Paul MADD Comedy Benefit Show.
But now we only have a few days left to the B*I*G show and we need your support. What happened to Paul was a terrible thing and it is time to celebrate his comic vision and to show some love to those who are most traumatized by this event.
We need you to show up and to bring all of your friends to the show. It will be this Saturday May 19th. Doors open at 7:15 PM and the show will start at 8. We have a wonderfully diverse line-up of performers designed to give you a "smorgasbord" of comedy. Remember, Boston has historically been a hot-bed of comedic talent with many national headliners from our backyard. I assure you that someday you'll look back on this show and say "I saw that guy when he played for Paul"!
The show will be at the conveniently located Auburn Elks Lodge, just 7/10th of a mile south of Masspike exit 10 on Route 12 (it’s on the right, you’ll see the sign). That's minutes from Worcester and only 40 minutes from downtown Boston. We are requesting a $15 donation but please, pay what you can afford. Tickets will be available at the door and the room seats 350. This isn't about the money; this is about showing your love for the family and supporting your comic friends.
Spread the word – repost like mad. Comics can care; see you there!!
