Michael H's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | Recent corporate law escapee uses autobiographical and political stand up to explain important things, like why his boy-girl twins are not identical, why the Rumsfeld plan to exit Iraq (code name - "Beam me up Scotty") is actually better than the Rove plan (wait until it's Hillary's problem), how the "LIKE COUNTER" (patent pending) can help you to build a new relationship with your preteen daughter - a relationship in which she speaks to you very rarely. Now playing new talent shows in the NY area and developing sit com with working title "Leave it to Beaver 2.0". | | Website | michaeljamesh.blogspot.com - link through MySpace blog | | Influences | Bob Newhart,

About me:
I just ended my career as a corporate lawyer, now doing stand up comedy and writing a sit com. Come see my next show. Corporate law doesn't sound funny? True, although I did manage to become a wanted man in Peru. I also: Graduated from a Catholic high school in Pittsburgh then became President of a Jewish fraternity at MIT (Is the Pope Catholic? Are you absolutely sure?); Worked as a deckhand in the Merchant Marine; Married a trial lawyer - now fully prepared for indictment after 27 years experience with cross examination; Joined Darth Vader as the father of boy-girl twins; Taught Sunday school in a Unitarian-Universalist church - a church with no dogma to teach; Coached youth sports - deserves hazard pay compared to merchant marine duty; Survived raising twins and got them off to college - twins sightings now rare but tuition bills continue to arrive periodically so twins believed to be alive and well; Cannot read the NY Times without finding something funny - usually p. 1 - above the fold.

Who I'd like to meet:
Thomas Jefferson, Bob Newhart, Ken Kesey, Jack Ham, Roberto Clemente, Billie Jean King, Judd Apatow (yet another Syosset success story, joining Ed Newman, Natalie Portman, Idina Menzel, Michael Isikoff, Steve Martini, Sue Bird, Montana Moorehead (the character played by Cathy Moriarity in Soapdish) my wife and many others).
