Put me on The Big Gay Sketch Show!

Vote for me once a day! I would LOVE to be on this show!

Here's the blog entry I had to make for the first round:

Here he is, world!

I have been performing my entire life whether on stage with other people or alone with my stuffed animals. (I won't confess when the latter collaboration stopped--at least not without some drinks in me.)

I started writing material for myself after the 2004 election. I was so enraged, I was driven into a creative frenzy. I created 2 one-man/cabaret shows for myself, using music and monologue to address everything from love to auditioning to dieting to sex to politics. It was during my second show that Brother Barker, my ex-gay character, was born.

Then, in 2007, I was inspired to take advantage of YouTube to channel my passion for politics and LGBT issues. Featured prominently there is Brother Barker as well as his ex-gay wife, Hope. Other characters have popped up as well as rap videos, and I look forward to taking my channel to the next level with an 8-part web series about a theatre message board, followed by a Truth or Dareesque parody of a Chris Crockeresque YouTube "star".

I love using satire to tackle all of the BS in the world. I think humor is a very powerful weapon.

Thanks for checking me out!

Lady and the Tramp

Jared and I made this for the Netflix Greatest Kiss Contest. We made the costumes and had a lot of fun filming it. Lady and the Tramp is the first film I remember seeing in a theater.
