Why do you do comedy?
I've been chasing that first wave of laughs I got at Helium, I guess. I love making people laugh. I feel alive when I am on stage. I suffer from mental illness and doing comedy is one of the few things that helps me feel sane.
Where was your first open mic and what was it like?
Valentine's on Ankeny in Portland OR - No longer exists.

Marc Maron. I just love his raw emotion on stage and I can really relate to that.

Do you want to be a stand up comic/comedian as your career?
Maybe (Its complicated)
Based on your previous response of yes, no, or maybe; please tell us why?
I realize at my age and ability, a full time career is probably not possible. I would like to retire as a stand up on cruise ships though. That is my plan.
