Three Questions
I'm getting this from Dorothy, who got this from Joe, who got it from someone else (I'm not researching any further than Joe...but feel free to take off where I left off. Let me know and I will post the links back to the creator of this idea.
I want everyone and anyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want and I will truthfully answer it. Then, I want you to go to your blog, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

Non-Fiction:The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie
Fiction: The Night Listener by Armistad Maupin

2. Where was the craziest place you've ever had sex?
Hmmm...well how about I answer that after Hot Toddy visits this weekend? Something about a log flume and seats you straddle...or maybe a tanning bed?

Questions Posted by The Other Brian.
1. In conversations, do you tend to listen or talk more?
Cool question. I tend to be a 60% listener and 40% talker. I like to hear about the other person and find our commonalities. I also find by listening more, I can benefit from their experiences.
2. Would you like to be famous?
Had you asked me back in '94, my answer would be completely different than it is now. Back then, my career was taking off, I was getting enough bookings that I was only able to work a part time job. I had to drop out of college twice because I was cast on touring productions and went on a 5 month comedy club tour. I attended every public event I could to self promote. My agent would tell me where to be, and who to be seen with, and I'd do it without question. You do get a thrill to be out at dinner and get an autograph request.
I quit the business when my ex couldn't take being married to both me and the entertainment business. He got tired of the late hours, the constant traveling, and the constant promotion, and at the time, I was willing to give it up for him. (call me young and stupid)
I got back into it this past year because I knew it was a big part of my life that was missing something. I find it Ironic that someone that broke my heart was the person I can now credit as pushing me to get back in the business. I've done filmed shows, commercial work, and traditional theater...but I find now that I could be completely unpaid and never recognized, and be very happy. I do it now only because I love it so much and I can't see doing anything else.
3. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?
My mother...I'm kidding...I really don't see anything that is too serious. All comedy is based out of some tragedy. Some of my best material comes from some of my most embarrassing moments (dating women, first dates, men who suck...or won't)
Of course, some comics can't do all material. I can't do racial material, as I am as white as they come. It mostly comes down to knowing your audience.
Questions Posted by Scott.
1. How do you cook a hard-boiled egg?
I guess I could say stick it up my butt for 10 minutes...but that may be too inappropriate.Let me know if you want to come over for dinner.
- So I guess boil them in water for 30 minutes, while watching a porn movie.
- Take pot off stove and place hot eggs in ice water.
- Masturbate to final sequence (money shot) of porn.
- wash hands
- peel eggs and eat.
2. What's the best thing about living in Cleveland?
The $129 round trip airfare to New York City.
3. Spit or swallow?
Depends on if the milk is sour.
Questions Posted by Hot Toddy.
1. Favorite Wine?
Depends on the weather. I love a good Merlot in the winter. When the weather is hot and amorous, champagne with chocolate covered strawberries is a great decadance, especially when served on a hot chest. (did I just say that outloud?)
2. Favorite Color?
A colbalt blue, or a deep green, both which make me relax.
3. If someone were to give you a massage, would you prefer scented or unscented massage oil. If scented, which scent turns you on?
Scented is always nice. I personally like most any scent that isn't Pacholi (AKA dirty hippy!). Point if you can get pheromone scented.
Questions Posted by Shamus.
1) What is your favorite drink? Alcoholic & non
- Alcoholic - Grey Goose Orange Cosmopolitans
- Non alcoholic Bud Light
- Exotic - Creme of Some Young Guy
2) What is your favorite position?
It depends on where the camera is.
3) When did you do your first standup?
Well that was a good position! I first did stand-up comedy when I was 20. I was pursuing my undergraduate degree and my faculty advisors were pushing me to do more comedy roles as I have a great sense of timing (which can help with question number 2). I did one show on a whim, and was immediately cast in a touring production, thus I didn't do another standup show for 1 1/2 years
Questions Posted by Paul.
1. If you could choose out of these three Shakespearean characters which would you be: a) Lady MacBeth b) Hamlet c) Puck?
to actually be...well that would have to be Puck. He is the trickster, but means no true harm. I've played the character already though, so I would like to perform the character of Lady Macbeth, who goes through an incredible change from muderous planning to sheer madness from guilt.
2. What is the square root of the following numbers 43046721, 6561, 81, 9? And yes I made this one easy and gave you the answers.
Math? I was a theater major and I don't eat meat because I'm a Veterinarian~giggle~. No seriously...the answers are -3. Right?
3. Who is your idol in the world of comedy?
Lucy Ball, Robin Williams, Jim Carey, and Carol Burnette. Of course...I've slept with...Oops...I mean I'd sleep with Rob Nash in a heartbeat.
Questions Posted by Dorothy.
1. I think you would be a great brother! If you could pick one person, famous/non famous to be your brother or sister, who would it be and why?
This is a fun question!
- Famous brother -Well if we were in West Virginia, I could sleep with him, so I'd say Brad Pitt
- Not famous brother - tie between Bill from Bilboard, and Brent from Coptalk who both just seem to "get" me.
- Famous sister - Jessica Simpson...just so I could get close to her husband!
- Not famous sister - CJ, who regardless how sick she is, always has kind words for others.
2. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I'd make myself a bit more driven. Like Mary Lou, I can start several projects, but have a hard time finishing them. I'd like to have a much
3. Have you ever stolen anything?
Besides a few men's hearts? Unfortunately yes. When I was waiting on tables back in '89, I worked at a resaurant where we were given a $30 register that we could use as our own register. One of the waiters I hated, put his down, and forgot about it. At the end of the night, he had to turn in his money, and his register, but since I had stolen it...he had to take that our of his tips. Well now I feel guilty.
