Spencer Humm has been performing professionally for 23 years. His comedy appearances have included television, film, animation, comedy clubs and theatres. He has performed more than 3000 live comedy shows in sixteen countries and has managed and performed with the team of outstanding and intrepid comedy professionals known as “Operation Swashbuckle, a Comic Expeditionary Force” on six U.S.O. tours, far down range to forward operating bases deep in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Spencer’s comedy has been described as “at once indulgently intellectual and delightfully juvenile.” He revels in the deeply absurd and random with brief stops in the philosophic. Spence has been called “a thinking man’s Einstein”, and “a worldwide global comedian for the planetary comedy world of Earth.” He is more man than Emilia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt combined. Oprah was named after him.

Who I'd like to meet:
I'm starring in a self produced, self-directed, screenplay adaptation of my authorized autobiography, starring me as me. I'm going to shoot it alone and insist that everyone watch it alone.
________________
You might be, but I'm definitely not and I most certainly can, but I won't.
________________
How? The hardest way possible, in the shortest time frame feasible, with the minimum resources available in the most efficient method knowable, with the maximum style allowable and the largest return achievable.
________________
When? As soon as possible when I find the time.
________________
Why? Because it's free, it doesn't kill brain cells and it feels like I'm falling in love... every time.
________________
I am a quirky comedy mastermind, a prodigious, professional provider of ha-ha-hospitality, a free-fly freak, multimedia maniac, a bullwhip crackin’, sword-slinging, steel-ringing, swashbuckling action hero, a naked villian of the first order, a teacher of many things and a student of all life. I am a weaver of dreams, endorphin dealer, deep thought diver, heavyweight out-of-the-boxer, seed of pure consciousness, peaceful warrior, force for good, force for God, compulsive wordsmith, ego maniac. I am Patanjali’s renegade Sidha, the destroyer of bad trances and taker of risky chances, an NLP Junky, master hypnotist, subgenius slackmaster, alpha-male-trickster… a dangerous, subversive, iconoclast, fiercely defending the status quo. I am a closet physicist, constant clown, sometime poet, hopeless romantic, inspired lover, blarney-stone kissing, silver-tongued devil and fool-child. Like it or not, I’m your next bravo foxtrot. I’ve greenness and leanness in my organic teaness and that puts a meanness in my penis so don’t come in between us.
________________
Who? Me. I wrote the book of love, I put the bop in the bop sha bop sha bop, I put the turd in turducken, I took the cookie from the cookie jar and I let the dogs out. Roof-roof-roof-roof!
________________
I WILL pay a lot for this muffler, I WILL watch only one episode of 24, I will solve the world hunger problem by xeroxing bagels. I am God's tomagotchi. I invented the awkward moment, I sing, I dance, I worship the power of laughter, yearn for freedom from desire, swear never to make a promise, confide that I never reveal a secret and rest peacefully in the assurance that nothing is secure and we are all headed on a one way trip to the big dirt nap. I want Christopher Walken to live in my walk-in closet.
________________
People ask me what it's like to be inside my head. Inside there, it's always casual friday.
________________
I used to only have eyes for my girlfriend, but ended up bumping into all the girls I couldn't see.
________________
I saw a 70 y/o man wearing a hat that said, "Who needs Viagra?" I thought it made him look spry. It would make me look like a dealer.
________________
Where are all my peeps who like sentences to end in prepositions at? Peace out.
________________
Tune in and Switch on. Crank it up and Look it up. Let it all in and Let it all out.
________________
They say if you put a frog in boiling water, it jumps out. Heated slowly, it will boil. What kinda soup is that? Either way, I'm not eating.
________________
I’m NOT your uptight carpool, your wussy ex-boytoy, your faithful lapdog, your lame boss or your nosey neighbor. I AM your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, your aunt, your uncle, your cousin, your niece, your nephew and your g@d@mn girlfriend, but don’t try to scr3w me because my head’s on a swivel from watching my own back and yours at the same time.
________________
Love like you don't the need money, dance like you've never been hurt, and watch like no one's working.
________________
If a girl you like calls you, tell her,"I was at the Rainbow and Flowers Museum, thinking about you." She'll like that.
________________
DON'T listen if you don’t want to hear the music. DON'T stand there if you DON'T want me to kiss you. DON'T touch the merchandise and DON'T think of a blue tree but DO slide on the ice! DO squeeze the Charmin. BE the laziness you want to see in the world. BE the soulmate you want to meet. BE who you wanna be. DO who you wanna DO, because “WHO is what you DO” and HERE and NOW are the only time and place you’ll ever BE or DO. Do. Be. Do. Be. Do.
________________
Do they tell priests who are nervous public speakers to picture their audience in their underwear? At Sunday school? I found the problem.
________________
Laughter is now only available by prescription. It's still the best medicine though. Ask your doctor if laughter is right for you.

Hey Spence, I know you're probably getting a million of these messages, but I was just wondering when the Christmas show tickets are going to be available? I talked to you on Saturday at Faire and I talked to you about the show then and you said to just shoot you a message here about it if I had any questions. So...yeah:) If you have time, I'd love to hear from you, but I understand if you're too busy. If so, then I'll just see you at Faire:) ~Alicia
Hey Spence, Thanks for the add. We actually met on Monday. I was the one with my face painted.... HAHA Well no seriously, I was the one who asked about you performing for the troops. Your SUPER funny! Keep it up!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! For a minute I thought you had written to me in between sets at the MD Ren Fest, but I see you don't start until next week! We won't get there for a few weeks yet, I'm afraid, but can't wait to see you there!
