Music
The only kind of music I like is when my past-life psychic regresses me to my prior incarnation as a muddy peasant thief in northern Europe in the 13th century and I wander through the countryside, penniless, starving, filthy, friendless, banished from all villages for my habit of stealing eggs out from under hens...
and there are these two guys I come across who play--well, the one guy's instrument is that thing where you blow into a blade of grass, only he's DOING it wrong, and the other is just this burlapped genderless being smacking rocks into the parched earth.
That's the only music I like.
Oh, and Train. Train blows me away. I love their singer's shirts.
Movies
I prefer these new "talkies" everyone watches nowadays. Also anything with Kathi Bates in it.
Television
The channels where I'm on in a commercial. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS SOMETIMES ESPECIALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA WHERE I PLAY A TALKING CIGARETTE IN LIKE 5 ANTI-SMOKING SPOTS.
Books
I prefer books where you DON'T open them to find the center of all the pages have been cut out to form a secret box compartment that your enemy has hidden a deadly scorpion in, so that when you open your new "gift" and begin reading about how, you know, Martha Stewart learned to make sock-monkeys in the big house OR WHATEVER, the scorpion stings you and you are indirectly murdered (but not THAT indirectly, right?).
Also I like books about metaphorical quests for cheese that some f***er MOVED for no reason.
Heroes
Generally, people who walk into propellers for dubious reward. Martin Luther King, Bobby Dylan, Frank Zappa, Andy Kaufman. Beck, the Talking Heads, Andre 3000, Larry David, STEVE MARTIN, WOODY ALLEN (back when he was the world's greatest standup comedian), Steven Wright. A lot of contemporary standups as well.

Thanks for all your support! The show went really well at the Laugh Factory, and the turnout was great!
If you couldn't make it, I have uploaded to my profile seven ten-minute segments from this outstanding variety show featuring Old Time Music, magic, dance, comedy and fun!
remember when you did that Hypocrites show and we were all insane? we went back to doing that. why don't YOU come see ME this time!? because if no one comes, no one applauds, and if no one applauds, we take hostages. IMAGINARY hostages, but still.
You know, if you can, you should try to make it out to our slop circuit show (5/30/07). I think you would have some great material for this one. See more details at www.recroomers.com and shoot me an email if you're interested. --e.t.

Wanted to let you know about a one man show we have at the Lakeshore Theater this weekend Man 1 Bank 0. A TRUE story. Patrick Combs deposited a junk-mail check for $95,000 as a joke...it cashed! The bank demanded the money back. The rest is history. Its a great story and an interesting and really funny show. Check out more at my profile or site at www.LakeshoreTheater.com.
