of industry presence in LA
scouting talent… so I went
to the Comedy Store to
ask if I could showcase
some of my friends and
they said ‘yes’…”

was…I thought I was funny
and I thought I was doing
my thing and I went on
stage to Jay Anthony
Brown’s club… And I went
on stage and I bombed and J
ate me up for a half an hour.
… And I was mad… But it
motivated me.”
