My Dad used to refer to me as an "accident waiting to happen".  Dad always had a way with words.  I'm just still wondering if I've "happened" yet, or if I'm still waiting.  I guess he was on to something though, as most of my career has been quite accidental.  They say that if you fail to plan, then you're planning to fail.  Well what if you just fail to get up in the morning?  That's a win-win in my book.  And I don't even have a book.  But if I did have a book, you can bet that one would be right in there.  I don't know much, but I do know that if I plan to plan then I'll never fail to fail.  And that doesn't sound all that bad to me.

So this is the part where most comedians would go on to list all the nifty places they've performed.  Let's not do that.  I'm not very good with lists.  Besides, my memory has never been any good.  In short, I've performed for 2,500 people at the Cape Cod Melody Tent and I've performed for four toothless drunks in the basement of some God-awful Chinese restaurant that thankfully burned down years ago.  Along the way I've done everything in between.  I've stood on boats, bars, table tops and milk crates.  I've entertained in theatres, lecture halls, ballrooms and at Fortune 500 companies.  I've done high schools, colleges, senior homes and bachelor parties (and even one bachelorette party!).  If there's a microphone, you can bet I've been there.

So now you know me.  What's your story?  Make your presence known and sign my guestbook below.

  • Hi John,

    I saw you at a Comedy show at RI Comedy Connection a few years back but haven't seen any new and upcoming shows on your website. Are you still doing comedy? You are really funny and seem like a fun guy! I'd like to come to another show if you come visit RI again.
