(cont.) holds or how I'll get there, I just know that all the right doors will open at the right times, and I trust myself to make the right decision. I just want to make some people laugh as part of this troupe. I meant to sum up; I guess I explained.

 

· COMEDY EXPERIENCE: Being in films with these crazy guys! My acting experience includes several TJ Weekly episodes (including "Peelz"). My sole writing credit thus far is for the Junk Drawer film "Dexter's Fun on the Run." I hope to participate in much more writing for The Junk Drawer.

 

· INFLUENCES:   Daniel Tosh, Jim Breuer, Jim Gaffigan, Mitch Hedberg, Pablo Francisco, Robin Williams, Gabriel Iglesias, Norm MacDonald, Ricky Gervais, Ben Elton, the ZAZ writing team (Top Secret, Airplane), Saturday Night Live circa '01-'03, the Kids in the Hall, and all the people and situations I find myself surrounded by on a daily basis.

 

· FAVORITE "Maury" EPISODE:  That one with the rebellious teenager.

 

· WHO'S YOUR SUPER-SECRET CRUSH?  I would be happy to carry Jeff Buckley's love child.

 

· FINAL THOUGHTS:  I'm finally done with this stupid questionaire! Now I can move on to something more productive. I think I'll mail a letter...wait, it's Sunday. Well, I could wash my car! But that would require putting pants on. I guess nothing's getting done today. Maybe tomorrow will be brighter.  Eh, probably not

Consequently, I have no idea what the future
