One white BOOMER!


One of the funniest guys in Toronto - Boomer works as a Garbage Man for the City of Toronto. Every show I saw he just killed with the most fowl and fecal jokes. Boomer is a nick name I believe, for his ability to fart on command. He made TO a GAS. He is VERY Funny. Way funnier than fisty!!

Toronto Up and Comers!!





Here is some shots of young comics I worked with around Toronto. These guys were a lot of fun, and maybe someday can be on the crew...

Manolis Zantanos


Here in Windsor, looking over to Detroit is the Greel lover Manolis. We spent a few hours in an Irish pub while I'll lectured him about not screwing pigs - to no avail. Manolis is a very cool guy, loved working with him.

The Crew




Once I was in Toronto these four people kept me alive and had my back. They are Matt Billon, Brett Martin, Peter Anthony and Briar Sandeman. These four would come to be known,(at least in my mind) as THE CREW, and we wreaked havoc in comedy rooms all over Toronto!!

Brook Ward from TEAM 1040

There he is ladies, the voice of Team 1040 at noon, Brook Ward looks like this as he hangs out at Starbucks On Cornwall and Yew. He is one of the people I conned into taking my girlfriend flowers on her birthday. Great Guy, but kinda shy in the public eye. Too bad he hooked up with me. There goes your anomyminity Brook!!

The Boys of Summer


So we all headed to a Blue Jays afternoon game for two bucks each!! Jays won when Halleday pitched a shut out, that took under 2 hours to play. Great day in Toronto.

first day in Toronto

First day in Toronto I hook up with some Western Guys, (Brett Martin, Paul Myerhaug and Steve (MIA) Potato.

Recording "At Least There's Drinking"

This is one of the three performances at Lafflines that Stephan Hopkins and Paul Kay recorded for "At Least There's Drinking".

Jy at Lafflines

Jy Harris hosted the shows that I recorded that would make up "At Least There's Drinking". His Intro on the CD is great, including the blooper intro at the end of the CD if you wait...

Her Highness Breanna


This is my ten year old daughter Breanna. This was the last photo I took of her before I left on my tour. Being away for 3-4 months was gonna be tough, but I had prepared her for this, and I threw a big surprise party for her birthday before I left, which made me feel better. Touring as a comedian has many costs...

J Leanne Padgett


This is J Leanne Padgett, as she is know in Poetry circles, Leanne, as she is known at her work at an investment firm, and Squishy, as she is known at home, where she lives with me, our two birds and one hamster. This is taken just before I left last April to go out to Toronto, to begin my super tour.

first cloudy day since I've been home...

and thats my excuse for not writing in this blog for awhile. Anyway, it's cloudy right now, so I'll get to it. I am headlining this week in Vancouver at YukYuks. Also on the show is Dave Tsonos and Jennifer Grant. I have neglected to put my photos on the blog, but now I have all my photos from my "At Least There's Drinking" tour on disk, so I will start to post them ASAP.
