Anyone who has ever had to come back from the bottom!!! Oh, and Carnel Smith.
About me: I've been in stand-up since I was 19. Entertainment runs in my blood. I am one of the few performers that was actualy born "with it". My father had some comedy albums growing up and my grandfather went to high school just 129 miles from a resturant that Milton Berle ate at once. So it's probably easy to see how I've inherited this "magic" or "gift". I love what I do! Anyway, enjoy your myspace journey.
Who I'd like to meet: Dreamers, planners, and do'ers. The lost, the wreckless, and the disappointed. Humans!
You da man! Remember, if Sarah Palin becomes Vice President, that leaves an opening for Governor of Alaska. You and I could take over the state. Think about it and get back to me.
'Twas a joy seeing you again and working with a master! Hope to do it again real soon. We wuz jammin'! Stay well and remember, August 47th is National Barrel Chested, Lantern Jawed, Steely Eyed Aryan Viking Explorers and Conquerors Day, so celebrate with gusto! Well, yes!
NO WAY?! You're birthday is July 16th? That's MY birthday! See,I knew there was a reason you're my fave comedian. Ok, could be all those funny jokes and stuff! Happy late bday! We'll share a belated bday toast next time you're in Tampa fellow July baby. --Gypsi
