The Long Road to

Comedy Success

I don’t want to make comedy sound easy, because it is

NOT.

After I got back into comedy, and got my mrst paid gig
(“ͳe Lesbian Bomb Show”), I started doing a lot of paid
shows all over LA. Occasionally, I was getting out of town
to Orange County or Colton, or something like that, or far
off, like Lancaster.
Back then, I considered a two-hour drive to be a serious
traveling gig. I wouldn’t now, but then I was driving a little
Geo Metro that sounded like a lawnmower. Ride in that shit
for two hours, you feel like you done crossed America in a
covered wagon.
Right as I was getting going with comedy, I kind of blew
up in the Bar Mitzvah scene. So I was traveling all over the
country, doing Bar Mitzvahs. ͳat paid better than my
comedy gigs, but comedy was my thing.
ͳen I got on the show Who’s Got Jokes? and that helped
my career a lot. It was my mrst time ever being on television
