I started doing stand up in the early 90's pretty much on a dare from friends because they thought I was funny! So I got on the "the list" for a Monday night to do a 5 minute spot at the Funny Bone Comedy Club in Pittsburgh, PA. I kept at it and eventually got pretty good at it (I... (and I'm thinking most comics when the first start)...really suck for a long time til I got a laugh). Anyhow...I was working a day job and doing my local club periodically as an MC and doing one nighters here and there when they were offered. I hated my day job cause CORPORATE AMERICA SUCKS so after a few day jobs I got an offer to travel the country doing the college circuit. After a lot of thought (about 3 1/2 minutes) I dumped the day job and went to stand-up full time.

After a few years on the college circuit I up and moved to New York City. Since doing that I have done work on Jim Florentine's "Terrorizing Telemarketers" Cd's Volumes, 2, 3 and 4 as Grandpa and the Brother-n-law. I also worked on the hidden camera comedy DVD, "Meet the Creeps." From the work I did on Jim's Cd, volume 2, where I play his grandfather and he gives me a bath while talking to a telemarketer, Comedy Central asked Jim to recreate the call for their upcoming show, "Crank Yankers." Thanks to Jim, I got to do a call on the first season of the show. It was pretty cool (alright it was great).

Ok, now my act...my act is a HIGH ENERGY show that covers all sorts of topics...the one main thing being, "Uncle Hort" and all kinds of experiences that I have encountered. I'm not gonna claim to be a must see act, but if you come out to see me you will probably get tired from watching me. You will definitely go home satisfied and wired without taking a single drug! So if you haven't seen my show, come on out if I'm near you and if you have seen it....come on out again!
