Once upon a time, I wrote a column called "Angry in America by Angry Johnny" for oklahomapunkscene.com and always eman to send in content to local press "Nonzine". I had hoped to get the gig as announcer/emcee for Tornado Alley Roller Girls, the official roller derby league of OKC but I work too much to even go to an event!! I haven’t done any stand-up lately because I’m too lazy to practice and it takes like 5 to 15 years to break-out... I’m just too god-damned lazy for all that razmatazz!
You may notice my friend’s list is growing at a rapid rate. It consists of my actual friends & also comics that I respect & think are very funny. Some of them I have seen live & some I have not. If I have seen you live beware though (Dave Attell, I’m looking at YOU!). Nearly everyone I see in concert either dies or goes off in to obscurity. Fairly warned be ye, says I!
I recently added a video to my blog area. As soon as MySpace pulls their fucking heads out I’ll upload it to my video page. All that money & not a God damned clue. It’s a shame really.. So... go watch my video. try to laugh. If it connects you to YouTube then give it a good rating. Let’s try to fool some folks in to thinking I’m actually funny shall we? If they laugh then the inside joke that I’m not as hilarious as they think I am is on them right??

(As if I could put these in ANY sort of order!!)
Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson, George Carlin, Robin Williams, Bill Hicks, Steve Martin, Smothers Brothers, Firesign Theater, Not Ready for Primetime Players (old school SNL folks), Monty Python, Lily Tomlin, Andy Kaufman, Emo Phillips (to a lesser extent), Johnathon Winters and on and on and on...
Members
Me & the many personalities that I call "characters" so people don’t freak out... If I played well with others I would’ve already ridden some one else’s coat tails to fame and fortune (at very least fortune)!
I’ve been doing voices/impersonations since elementary school and I think they evolved into little people that reside in my cerebral cortex. In 3rd grade I did a fire prevention play using the voice of the professor from the Bozo Show & someone asked if I was actually from Germany! I was impressed with myself & have been ever since. (You musn’t put vires oonder rugs they can become frayed oond vorn!")

Hey Kelly. First off I wanna say thank you for putting together such an awesome evening to pay tribute to Bill Hicks. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I noticed that someone was filming each of the Comics sets that night, you know of where I could view this video? that would rock! oh and by the way would it be possible to still pick up one of those Bill Hicks shirts you guys had for sale? that would also rock. once again thank you for all the hard work you and whoever else who had a hand in making the night so fuckin awesome! thx nate
