   Jimmy Brogan's Comedian Bio
Bio

In 1975 Jimmy Brogan realized he had a fear of heights and gave up on his dream of becoming a Human Fly. He turned his attention to standup comedy. He did guest appearances on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson and Late Night with David Letterman.

He starred in a sitcom called Out of the Blue (ABC). He hosted Laffathon (Showtime), Comic Strip Live (Fox) and You Asked For It, Again (Family Channel). The perfectionist that he is, he won’t be satisfied until he has been cancelled by all the networks

Deciding that he could save a few dollars by not hiring a lawyer, he worked for nine years as an indentured servant on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Since leaving The Tonight Show, Jimmy has been busier than ever. Besides doing his standup, he has written two movies and seen three others

He also was a creative consultant on Yakov Smirnoffs one-man Broadway show, As Long As We Both Shall Laugh. He found out exactly how long we both shall laugh. It was 24 performances.

Hello Jimmy, I was excited to see you yesterday up in Northern California. I have loved your show in the past. It is too bad you did not get into your act with all the idiots in the audience. I look forward you coming back to N. Cali so I can see another show.

Hey Jim Dandy-Go! Jim Dandy to the rescue...
Long time Jimmie. Glad to see you were in on that Yakov's Broadway thang. I was in on the beginnings of that show as well and I'm sorry to say I was a nay sayer to what he wanted to carry off. Especially when he first thought about bringing it to Branson...;)
Tell Jay boy I said hello on the 19th. I will be starting a new stand up class that day.
peace,
your chill

Hi! Where are you from? What do you do? Good for you!!!

--Jimmy Brogan's Act tonight at the Comedy & Magic Club... lol.

We loved the show--it was great to be at a show with our Dad for Father's Day where we didn't to worry about being embarassed--clean comedy is far more clever (& difficult) for a stand up comic to do, I'm guessing?

Thanks for a great evening! Anyone reading this, do yourself a favor & catch Jimmy & Jay Sunday evenings.

Much love--XOXO

Ps.

Caught your act in Hermosa Beach on Sunday w/ Jay. Just wanted to say that you were awesome, we really enjoyed your clean humor. We were the couple right in front of the stage that were from Texas.
Will plan on trying to catch you again!

Jimmy my good friend. Victor is almost done and WE will most likely be attending the ConVENTion at Vent Haven in Kentucky this year, and Terry Fator of America's Got Talent is going to be there. I am so psyched. AND I have just completed the clay sculpture of my next figure. the mob wiseguy Nick Negosianti. Now comes the casting part. Has to do with latex mold making and pouring in a resin and backing it with fiberglas.
