Question and answer
Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. Most of the time I am performing in comedy clubs. Sometimes, I function as a host or emcee for all types of events. My favorite type of performance is a private party or meeting where I am supplied with background information on the more notorious members of the group. Then I write material to "roast" them. In a nice way. After that I basically wing it. My best show are when I make it up as I go along. All my performances are really based on whatever is going on while I am performing and bringing the audience into a show created, on the spot, just for them.
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Every person is different. If I understand what you want to do with your new sense of humor skills, I can tailor the education to make your control of the skills natural and automatic. Everyone is unique. Your differences will make it easier for you to be remembered. And appreciated. Even if you just want to enjoy humor through understanding, this will allow you the insider's view of what is and why things are funny. Just understanding will make you a more fun person to be with. AND it will show you the brighter side of life.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Seinfeld was making a million a week with his show. He left that to got back to the most thrilling line of entertainment. Live Stand Up Comedy.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. How many attendees, what do you need from me as far as content (pre-written material or written for the event), material rating (GP to X), what's the duration of the performance, distance, age group, anyone special needing to be singled out? I need to know "who" am I am attempting to please.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Every Training is created on the spot based on the personalities attending. Although intense, I try to cram as much information into every minute to give the students more to take with them. Even after the training, my students still contact me with questions to improve their personal growth and development.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. Nothing can compare with watching a student's face when they get that first big laugh. Even better when it happens spontaneously.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
