I believe that life is supposed to be fun.  Not only on the weekends or that yearly vacation, but every day you open your eyes again, let the party begin!  I was raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; a self proclaimed party state.  At a young age I was taught the Cajun saying, “Laissez les bons temp rouler” which means “Let the good times roll!”  You can never take life or yourself too seriously.

In 1989 I was 18 years old and a senior in high school the very first time I took the stage to perform stand up Comedy.  It was an open mic contest at a small Irish bar named O’Donahues and surprisingly I won.  I was so naïve and ignorant to the world of stand up that I thought I would be an overnight success; a huge TV star by the time I hit 21!  The first four years were the hardest.  I’m not going to lie to you, I truly sucked dong wind.

What I later learned is that one of the most essential elements to being a successful stand up comedian is to know yourself very well.  How can you talk about things not truly knowing who you are and how you fit in to it all?  At 18 I only knew that stand up looked fun.  Today, I have found my voice.  I don’t claim to have everything figured out, but I open myself to learn everyday.

Over the years I have had so many unique and wonderful experiences.  I have seen most of the United States, various parts of the world and met so many interesting people.  I have done some interesting jobs too.  For a while, I was a silly character on local car commercials.  I even hosted a home town QVC style show called “Shop Baton Rouge.”  I hawked wicker on local cable!

In the past few years since I have lived in Los Angeles, I have returned to television work.  In 2001, I made an appearance on Comedy Central’s “Best of the Improv.”  In 2002, I made a guest appearance on the UPN hit sitcom “The Parker’s.”  2003 made dreams come true with an appearance on the new “Star Search” on CBS hosted by Arsenio Hall. In 2004, I appeared on “Show me the Funny” a HDTV special for the Wealth Network.  2005 has been a wild and exciting ride.  I made a guest appearance at the Montreal Comedy Festival and appeared on the “Comcast Comedy Spotlight” at the Boston Comedy Festival. This October TBS will air "Pit Stop Comedy" and it will also be released on DVD and sold exclusively at Best Buy.

Things are very exciting right now and the future looks bright.  There’s nothing I love more than being one on one with a hot crowd in a dark comedy club.  And if you’ve read all the way to here, there’s a good chance you’ve been in the audience of that dark comedy club.  Thank you!  Thank you for relating to my world and expressing it with laughter.  I hope to see you at a show soon.  Do me a favor, spread the word.  I would like to own a car with less than 266,000 miles on it before I’m 40.
