ACTING & COMEDY GIGS

My fans know what a busy guy I've been! I've had more acting roles and done more comedy performances, stand-up sets, dramatic monologues, improv shows, impromptu Jew's harp "jams" and poetry readings than I can remember, let alone shake my stick at!

But I've made a serious effort to preserve here most of my most influential roles in the theatre, as well as some of my "favourites". I didn't want to try to write down everything I've done because it would bore people to death to read such a long list.

I've divided my various experiences as a world renowned entertainer into theatre, film, and television categories, and listed them in reverse chronological order.

Knock yourselves out!

If you need more detailed info on my TV/movie roles, you might want to check me out on the IMDB.
