Tuesday November 15th, 2011 - Fox Lake, IL The last thing I need in my life right about now would be any more high risk, built from scratch, cockamamie, hare brained, wackadoo fly by night ideas or get rich quick schemes to clog my toilet on a semi regular basis. Doing all I’m d...
Sunday March 6th, 2011 - Pittsburgh, PA/Fox Lake, IL Sunrise. Sunset. This was probably the last time I go to Pittsburgh to do the Funny Bone there, and if it is I‘m fine with it. I’ve come full circle. I began my quarter century of road adventures there, and now it looks ...
Saturday March 5th, 2011 - Ft. Wayne, IN/Pittsburgh, PA Back on the road. I had a weekend in Pittsburgh booked before being asked to perform at the benefit show last night for the Continental Showcase radio show. I wouldn’t cancel on a booker without calling, and I tried to make...
Thursday March 4th, 2010 - Milwaukee, WI/Ft. Atkinson, WI It seems like I’m in Milwaukee more now than when I lived there, but that’s where a lot of my business is leading right now. The “Schlitz Happened!” one man show is starting to take shape, but now is whe...
Saturday October 31st, 2009 - Cranberry, PA Small crowd, BIG fun. That’s not usually how the equation works, but tonight made my long drive to West Virginia and then here totally worth it. Wow, what a vibe these people had. They were there to see comedy and they gave it up start...
Saturday September 5th, 2009 - Pittsburgh, PA
Another day on the road. I always wished I would’ve kept track of every hotel I’ve ever stayed and every restaurant I’ve ever eaten in and every gig I’ve ever done just so I’d have some kind of record to g...
Friday September 4th, 2009 - Pittsburgh, PA Here’s something I didn’t expect - I’m back in the Pittsburgh area for the second straight weekend. Same owners, different location. This is at the Four Points Hotel by Sheraton in a northern suburb called Cranberry. I’ve b...
Sunday August 30th, 2009 - Pittsburgh, PA/Kenosha, WI Two nights in an airport in one week is too much. It wasn’t part of the showbiz dream I had all those years ago but that’s how it worked out this week. My flights were very early and either hotels or shuttles didn&rsquo...
Saturday August 29th, 2009 - Pittsburgh, PA I’ll always have a place in my heart for Pittsburgh. This was where I was booked for my first real road gig in January of 1986 and it was very special. I remember the date because of all things it was the week the Space Shuttle Challen...
Friday August 28th, 2009 - Pittsburgh, PA It’s amazing what a night’s sleep and a shower can do to recharge the batteries. I’m in a very good space today and ideas are still flowing like water from yesterday. I have to find some way to increase my income very soon wi...
Monday August 24th, 2009 - Chicago, IL This is going to be one of my busiest weeks in recent memory so I’m trying to cover all bases to avoid making any major mistakes. I’m a one man band and that can be the kiss of death in situations like this. Missing out on one l...
Friday August 21st, 2009 - Niles, IL/McHenry, IL Just when I thought nothing else could surprise me, I got a call today from a guy named Eric in Los Angeles asking me to fly out next Tuesday to film an episode of the TV show ‘Comics Unleashed’ hosted by Byron Allen. Withou...
Thursday August 6th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL Things are slowly starting to trickle in from the TV appearance but not nearly as fast as I would like. Obviously it would be great to get offer after offer and have several in hand to choose from but I never expected that to happen. All I wa...
Wednesday August 5th, 2009 - Oconomowoc, WI/Lake Villa, IL Of all the days to pick to talk about being on a cold streak with women, yesterday was a poor one. The first thing I saw when I turned on the TV this morning was the story of that wackazoid in Pittsburgh who flipped out and st...
