One of my closest friends passed away today. I do not want to reveal his name right now, because some do not know yet. I will certainly give him a memorial tribute when the time is right, but for now it’s simply a time for reflection.

20 years ago this month, I recorded my first CD at the Ice House Pasadena. (Remember those shiny 4-inch audio discs that spin?) This weekend I would love for anyone in Southern California to attend one of the three shows at the Ice House. Come be a part of our audience for the anniversary recording of the final performances. Bring your best laugh to add texture to the CD, record, album 8-track…whatever the hell you call it!

Based on ratings, reviews and sales, my recently released book, LoveMaster’d, appears to be taking over the relationship and love world in a whole new way.

My book is officially released and ready to order. LoveMaster’d is now available online at the Friesen Press Book Store. Available on their website is the Hard Cover copy, Paperback copy, and the eBook. 

My new book is finally here! For one week only my book is available at a discounted price via AMAZON.  Love Master'd has had amazing reviews by guests such as Dr. Drew,  Jeanie Buss, Mark Victor Hansen, and Whoopi Goldberg.  

I met with a doctor and it turns out I have a rare degenerative disorder called “Satiricarcigeria.” I go under the knife next week. Several specialists from around the world will be performing a very rare procedure.

I usually don’t single out a comedy club or play favorites. However, as I call it a wrap on the standup touring at the end of the year, obviously there is a lot of reflection going through my mind with each place I play, perhaps for the last time, and one particular venue does hold extra special meaning for me.

Recently, had a couple of weeks off. Well, by “off” I mean no travel standup comedy dates, but suffice to say there is never a true day of nothing for a husband and father of four. Still can’t comprehend “FOUR” I feel like one of those Catholic station-wagon Dads I used to make fun of. Starting to look like one too. Karma, bitch!

Sometimes I cannot believe how long I’ve been doing stand-up comedy. It all began at 9 years old in elementary school when I told personal stories about my family in front of Mrs. Stoudt’s 4th grade class.
