Who I Am

In the third grade I won the "Author of the Month" at St. Mary's School in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts for a poem I wrote about bears and Thanksgiving. At the time my aspirations were to become a poet, a teacher, or the owner of a pizza restaurant where third graders could hang out.

At Georgetown I won the “Funniest Person on Campus" contest and the chance to perform at the D.C. Improv. They were so impressed they hired me to bus tables.

From there I took my jokes to New York City, where I was fired as a temp at Pfizer for repeatedly falling asleep at my desk . I proceeded to drive my mom’s old station wagon to comedy clubs all over America until my mechanic would no longer take my calls.

Since that time I’ve had two Comedy Central Presents half-hour specials and appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Late Show with David Letterman. I’ve performed at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, (my brother Joe joined me) The Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, and the Kilkenny Arts Festival.

I currently reside in New York City and perform all over the country. And one day I hope to own a pizza restaurant where 29-year-olds can hang out.
