Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer 3/14/2011 - cwyates | Internet Radio | Blog Talk Radio

Yesterday I put out my second blogtalkradio show with a guest.  The subject was not comedy, it was "Inside the mind of a Serial Killer".  My guest was Victoria Redstall who has been producing documentaries about serial killers for the past 4 years.  She produced a movie documenting the life of Wayne Adam Ford, a serial killer currently on death row, convicted of four murders.  I talked to Victoria about her involvement in the case. From the time she gained access to the high power section of the jail, meeting Ford where she posed as someone else giving Ford a false identity.  During the trial Ford had Victoria put on the stand, where she was forced to give her true identity.  Check out the blogtalkradio segment.

Mike DeStafano Dies of a heart attack at 44

Comedian Mike DeStafano suddenly died of a heart attack in NY.  Mike was a comedian who finished in the top five, of "Last Comic Standing".  He was a heroin addict who discovered standup in rehab.  He lost his wife to Aids.  I really connected to the raw truthfulness of his comedy.  I guess some would find it strange that a cop would admire this guy, and enjoy his comedy, and be a fan.  I was, and really looked forward to meeting him.  I had recently watched his DVD, and befriended him on facebook.  He really loved doing stand up, and was just finishing a tour in New York when he passed away. Yes he was raw, and cursed alot, for sure he was very real, and very funny. RIP Mike. 

Headlining at the National Latino Peace Officers Assoc Dinner

Last night I was honored to be tasked with headlining the National Latino Peace Officers, ELA Association dinner at Steven's Steakhouse in Commerce,Ca.  Thank you Ray Lam for having me at the show, and allowing me to book the talent for the show.  It was really great to perform with Frazer Smith, Marco Assante, Vince Royale, and Randy Lubis.  Everybody was outstanding and the crowd loved the show.  Jim from Steven's Steakhouse once again, runs a class act operation and somehow always has a packed house.  I talked with Jim for a while, and we collaborated on doing future comedy shows at Steven's.  It was nice to be top dog, and headlining a show, but Ive gotten so used to featuring and opening for Mike Marino, it seemed like something was missing not having him there.  I talked to Mike just before the show, he had just come off stage in Florida, where he is on a multi city theatre tour.  Mike as always gave me some words of encouragement, and off i went, and was very happy with my performance.  Now back to the writing table!!
