Can you tell us about growing up in Michigan and your early comedic influences/experience performing theater?

You guys, in a fitting twist our angry rants at OP actually made him go away.

Thank you!

I'd love to know your thoughts on alternative comedy and what made you want to take that path (you're not a setup-punchline type of comic)

In the early nineties what comics were blowing your mind?

Can you give us a timeline of where you first started performing comedy, and who you were performing with?

I worked at a call center for some great organizations, non-for-profits, the ASPCA, the NOW, but its the worst job because people really hate telemarketers. Probably the least liked group of people ever to exist numbers wise. I bet telemarketers have a lower approval rating than congressmen, and i used to call on behalf of congressmen to ask people for money. Getting people to even listen to you for more than five seconds as a telemarketer takes a particular kind of sleazeball so most of the people they hire are like the worst people you would find on Craigslist, with no actual skills but a unique ability to not mind being a shit to people. The company tries to tell you that your doing important work, but in reality you are doing probably the least meaningful work that has ever existed on the planet. Guys that shoveled shit in the middle ages were doing more important work than telemareters. I worked for some great orgs. but made dick wagewise. This guy is doing the same job I did but for for-profit companies so you know he and the company he works for have to tell themselves some pretty big lies in order for them to be able to sleep at night. If you really want to help people dont work as a telemarketer for a non-for-profit group. Volunteer your time directly. And dont let them stick you on the phones it just makes you hate people and makes people hate you. Also to the original poster: stop saying "lol" and "haha" all the time it makes you sound like a real dummy.
