A sarcastic, lovably dorky guy-next-door with hilarious, sharp perception. My attitude is open, genuine, and always relatable, with an ever-present down-to-earth charm and cynicism. Other than that, I’m pretty modest. Oh, and I can bench press a lot.
Credits include Letterman, VH-1, CMT, XM Radio, Sirius Radio, the Bob and Tom Show, John Boy and Billy Show, the Boston Comedy Festival, and overseas tours to entertain our troops.

About me: I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
I'm a stand-up comic and writer based in New York City, originally from Nashville, TN (but I'm not a guitar act). You can hear me regularly on XM, Sirius, and various syndicated shows. You may have seen me on VH-1, CMT, or CNN Headline News doing some comedic commentary. I write freelance for Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, National Lampoon's Sports Minute, and the Complete Sheet. I also tour overseas every year to entertain our military...truly the greatest experience of my career. Living in NYC is incredible, but I still stay on the road on occasion working various clubs, so drop by a show....unless you're with a bachelorette party.
My humor is a combination of clever cynicism and boyish dorkiness to entertain everyone from college kids to their parents to drunk and rowdy types, because there's a piece of my personality that fits every one of those kinds of people. It's really for everyone, except bachelorette parties. Good Lord, I can't emphasize that last point enough.
I'm in the movies now! A film was made about stand up comedy in the Big Apple, and some of the best comics in the city were chosen to highlight. Check it out! Visit www.Stand-Up360.com for more information and to purchase tickets while they last! Check local listings for select theatres, dates & times of the limited engagement showings of each film in the series! See image below.

Below is the video of me in Macon, GA where apparently I pissed off a bat.

i didnt like the show i loved it and thankyou i hope you have a good summer...i think the 2 funniest parts of the show was the "clifton" part and the bald unicorn part your hilarious i cant wait to go to another one of your shows let me know when your on long island again if you can
At the End of your cd you thanked someone with the lastname osborne... and said they were from birmingham... are the related to Mark, buster, or payton osborne? because my cousin is married to Payton Osborne and they are all big wigs in birmingham!
So, I just saw you on a Letterman tivo at my friends apartment. It was great - but you can imagine my disappointment when I couldn't tell everyone in the room "hey I made out with a famous guy!" and I just had to tell them "hey I brought a famous guy a burger and watched him read". Needless to say, no one was impressed.
Thanks man! And thanks for coming by again, as always. Awesome stuff, glad we actually had people there to see ya. Have fun in my old college 'hood of Indy!
Hey man, saw you in Myrtle Beach over the summer, you were hilarious! Saw you on Letterman the other night! Once again, hilarious! You need to hit the Baltimore area!
Heyyyy Keith! Yeah Brian and I were laughing hysterically at your Letterman appearance last night! You killed it, my friend! I am hoping you do get over in our neck of the woods sometime soon...I don't see anything on your calendar too close yet. I will cross my fingers!
