Yo, I'm a comedian, a writer, and an accountant. Guess which one I'd like to quit. Not only do I perform at comedy clubs but am experienced at helping to organize and perform at fundraisers and benefits, so if you would like to schedule one, and can use a comic to help, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks!
