HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! And to celebrate, nothing says the holiday season like
family, food, football and helping out those less fortunate. So in
keeping with tradition, I will be part of another Toys for Tots drive
this year! However, rather than comedy and music, this year, its
bratwurst and football!! Sunday Dec. 13th I will be manning the grill
for a FREE COOKOUT at The Trip Lounge in Santa Monica! Free brats,
burgers, dogs, and all the fixins and all you have to do is bring an
unwrapped toy to donate....what a deal!!! So come on out, watch some
football, drink some beer, eat some brats, and lets get some toys for
the kids!! 10 am kick-off, THE TRIP LOUNGE, LINCOLN BLVD, SANTA MONICA.
See you there!!!

Keep an eye on Comedy Time networks (the link on my links page). I am
working with them on a show for their network. The concept is this, I go
and interview little kids about sports. I know, sounds corny, but trust
me, we have got some funny shit so far!!

Also, keep your XM Radio dialed in to channel 154! They just had me in the
studio for an interview on "The Green Room with Frasier Smith". We had a
great time and I am sure you will enjoy it!!
For those of you who missed it, the All Comedy Radio taping at The Ice
House in mid June was a huge success. Thanks to all who attended, and for

All Comedy Radio. Shizzle.

Check this out. I just wrapped a demo pilot with writer/producer John
Donley. He will be shopping it to the networks and if all goes well yours
truly will be on a network TV show.
The show is called "GRIPES". We have married people who are having
relationship problems come on and we give them advice. Imagine that, the
one person who should definitely not be sitting on a relationship expert
panel, will be giving advice to couples all over the country. God help us.
