Richard Pryor

Sadly, the great one has passed on to the big gig in the sky. Richard was a comedy hero for me, and many others. His re-invention of the form set a standard that's influence can be seen in every stand-up in the world.

Angels Manhattan style

These two guys at Dillon's Irish Pub on Fifty Fourth Street, helped me out big time , in launching my CD and giving me a pub to call home. I met a guy at the Vancouver Comedy Fest that said he was in New York several weeks after I left, and was looking for Letterman tickets, went round the corner of the Ed Sullivan theatre and there was my poster up, and the staf was still talking about my show. That was really the best part of playing new york city, was finding out that I can hold my own anyway! (Start spreading the news...)

Montreal Jazz Festival

Having no control over what dates we end up in places, it was great for me to be , by fluke, in Montreal during the Jazz Festival.

My Favourite T shirt of 2005

I saw this guy in Montreal, and thought it was the best joke I'd read in a while. I was performing that week at the comedy nest, and I must say, when in need of recharging on the road, Montreal is the place to do it!!

Coolest photo

My time spent in Toronto seems to be summed up by this photo, which I took on King Street, outside of a club that had these impressionistic dances outside.

The year of 2005 began on my daughter's birthday

Because I was going away for a few months that year, I threw a surprise birthday party for Bree in Late January. Her longtime buddy Watermelon was there, and gave her a pink boa.
