STAND-UP COMEDIAN

If you are anywhere between 30 and 60 years of age and you appreciate a great story and observations about life, chances are you'll love my shows!

Book me for your club or event today!  My act is rated NC-17 (some profanity but NOT lewd or crude) and easily translates to PG (no profanity).

EVENT MC
When you have an event, you need to make sure that it is an entertaining and timely affair. A good MC (Master of Ceremonies) makes sure that both of those things happen.

A good event MC also recognizes the nature of an event. When it is a formal or business affair, he handles himself in a bussness-like manner. When the event is informal, the MC knows how to let his hair down while encouraging everyone else to do so.

As your event MC, I will:

  • Take command of the room/area,
  • Engage and entertain your audience,
  • Make sure that all participants are ready to take the stage/podium to main-tain the flow of the program, and most importantly
  • Keep your event running in a timely fashion.
"Eddie understands when to let (an) event play out and when to step in and pump up the volume.  One YMCA board member called it a 'first-class production' and that the emcee was "tops".  Eddie was responsive to us, the organizers, and our need to keep things moving in a timely manner.  (He) was responsible for a great deal of our success that night.  I wholeheartedly recommend him for any event without reservation."

HISTORY

I hit the comedy stage in 1995 as a member of the Eastside Live comedy troupe.  Not long afterwards, I helped form the O.N.P. Players.  My greatest joy came, however, when I formed my own team, Loose Cannons: the comedy troupe.

In 1996, I decided to try my hand at stand-up, and I haven't really looked back.  You can say that I've become known for an act that is full of energy, intellect and physical comedy.  Yes, when I perform I truly leave it all on the stage.

You can now catch me every month producing and headlining a regular show at Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club!
