I hate self promoting at all… I hate it more when we are talking - TopicsExpress



          

I hate self promoting at all… I hate it more when we are talking stand up in light of yesterdays events… so I am sorry to anyone who feels my self promoting is in bad taste. Let me state, however I am doing my best to make my own way in this comedy world that Robin so incredibly set the bar and was such a major influence on so many of us. He also was a great person who was genuine to everyone, as evidenced by the fact that every one of my comedian friends has a personal story and/or a picture with him just hanging out. George Carlins death was a major factor in me getting back into comedy after several years off. I had the chance to meet him several times right before his death and he was very cool to me. His last comedy special was incredible to me, funny, edgy, poignant and skeptical! He died shortly after that special aired and it made me contemplate what I would think of myself if I had not tried to complete my goal of doing an hour special and making it something I really believed in; something that I felt wasnt just fluff, but had a point and a statement. I eventually got back on stage, and thew away 90% of my old act and put together something I was proud of and eventually got that hour TV special made; the realization of that life-long goal! Then my dad died days after I signed the distribution deal for my comedy special. My dad was a huge comedy influence to me and I dedicated the special to him. Now today my special premiers and is available world-wide, the day after one of my all-time idols dies. I want to celebrate and morn at the same time. I want to shout from the rooftop, look at me! and at the same time have a moment of silence for Robin, his family, the art of comedy and fans everywhere. So please watch something of Robin Williams today. Then if you wouldnt mind, support another comedian whom you all personally know by watching my comedy special and if there is a place to rate and review it (like on iTunes or Amazon) please do so favorably. Thank you all. BTW I miss my pops!
