I
grew up in North Carolina and Delaware, listening to
George Carlin, Eddie Murphy and Steven Wright. I moved
to NYC after college with a Theatre Arts degree in hand.
I was between off-off-off Broadway shows, waiting tables
and bartending when I discovered that restaurant owners
are crazy and chefs are nuts and I couldn’t tell
one more lady what was in a rum & coke. I needed
to perform. Anyway, one day I woke up and decided to
stop talking about being a comic and actually do it.
That night I paid $5 for five minutes of stage time
and have been doing it ever since. I’ve traveled
all over the country, met some fantastic people and
made most of them laugh. This is the best job I’ve
ever had, including the Gap.
Since I’ve
been in New York, I’ve been in the music video
“Softly” by Noelle Noelle, the independent
film “In 21 Days” and I was also featured
in the t.v. variety show “The Fringe” that
features up and coming comics and bands. Soon I’ll
be seen at film festivals all over the country as Frank,
who turns into a werewolf, in the independent feature
“4 for Dinner”; a comedy-horror from the
award winning director of “The Risen”, Scott
Klein. I also did an episode of Law and Order:SVU; I
was great as “Extra #187”.
I have showcased
at many NACA’s including East Coast, Upper Mid-West,
South Central, South Region and Heartland of America.
I’ve enjoyed performing at colleges from Maine
to the Dakota’s, New Mexico, Florida, and Colorado.
I have had the pleasure of opening for national acts
such as Emo Philips, Dave Chappelle and Jim Breuer.
When I’m home I perform in the clubs in New York
City and spend time with my family.
It has been said that I have the southern roots that
make me hospitable and enough New York in me to give
me an edge. |
