Steven's Steakhouse


I have taken the handle on my next big big fundraiser charity event, with me, opening for the man, Mike Marino. This show is going to be at Steven's steakhouse, which is a beautiful location in commerce. This charity is near and dear to my heart, because the money will be given in the name of a friend of mine who was killed in a car accident, delivering a subpoena on his own time. He was such a great guy, and when he got out of the service, he would ride with me at the Livingston County Sheriff's dept., he was a car salesman at the time. His father and my father used to work together on the same department. Jim's only dream at the time was to become a Livingston County Sheriff's department. He finally got on, and I trained him, and we used to work sister cars on the midnight shift. In 1983 I left to join the Los Angeles county Sheriff's department, and we lost touch. In 1987 while trying to deliver a subpoena in Rochester NY, he was killed by a wrong way driver on the expressway. This charity we are doing the show in commerce for, gave several scholarships to his boys. We are doing another show in September, in Rochester, where we will give another check in Jim's name, where is wife and boys will be present.

Headlining the Downtown Comedy Club


Well it was great headlining the downtown Comedy Club in downtown LA ofcourse. A little natural nervousness, because on this night I was the guy. I am so use to opening for Mike Marino and being the feature, it was a little different feeling being the headliner. But I loved it !. It was a pretty good crowd, not as big, I think because it was the big fight night, Maryweather against Sugar Shane Mosley, and i know so many people who were staying home to watch the fight. I sometimes enjoy performing for people I don't know at all and have not seen me,, you get a totally sincere reaction. Not that you don't get a real reaction from friends and family, but because they know you, the reaction sometimes is more readily geared to acceptance and laughter. Which is great !,, I guess thats the ideal, make 6 million people your fan and friend !,,, Ok back work !!!
