I love any book by Philip Roth, Paul Auster, or Russel Banks. In the olden days I liked Camus and Dosteyevsky. I stopped reading though, because I need to dumb myself down for comedy.
Hakkımda: One would find that I'm a simple man closely knit to my family. I was born in Woodstock, New York to hippies who provided me a loving warm home, Bob Dylan records, and the words of Lenny Bruce. They became powerful role models for me. In fact, if I hadn't written a thesis on the anti-authority views of Lenny Bruce, I would have failed high school English.
But, my life took a sudden turn after High School. My hand would go numb, and I discovered that I had a brain tumor. The process of recovery was painful and difficult, but I pulled through, resolving to be a strong human being and later a hard-working comedian.
Upon graduation from SUNY PURCHASE (major in Sociology-fastest way out of school) I befriended a group of comedians. Instantly, I was enraptured by the power of stand-up comedy, or more likely the act of standing in front of strangers and baring my soul. I had found my calling.
Today, I have conquered all odds to become an engaging stage presence. The love of jokes seems to come naturally, as though it's in my blood. In my own words, "Being in comedy is tough because there isn't much money in it, but if I never make a dime, I will still perform with all my heart."
Matty! When is your next NYC show? A Friday, Saturday or Sunday would be best. I really want to take my boyfriend to meet you and see your comedy routine...you funny boy you! Miss ya! Call anytime.
As always, we at StageBuddy would like to invite you to our FREE StageBuddy Live show: a mix of Theatre, Comedy & Music, along with Prizes & Giveaways! Every Saturday 6-7pm in Times Square & now join us afterwards for our open mic! We'd love to see you there!
