I cut my comedy teeth on the AIDS crisis in San Francisco. We needed to laugh. Gay stand-up was born. I headlined concerts, clubs, and Pride events in Provincetown, Boston, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Madison, and San Francisco. I performed at the '93 March On Washington. I starred in the 1st gay stand-up comedy video, "All Out Comedy," and was featured in two books, "A Funny Time To Be Gay," and "Revolutionary Laughter." I still do sets. Here is my latest. A storytelling gig I do in San Francisco.

This is a set I did on the closing night of the legendary Purple Onion in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood.
