I am represented by the firm of Hasbeen, Wannabee, and Neverwas.
Ive used a few stage names through the years. My porn name was Blackie South Eleventh, because I just wasn't into the genre that Ruffie Rural Route one would get me.
I sometimes go by an alter ego of Monte Cofeman Well of course it is a bow to the greats, ya know. Safir Monte and Dewey Cofeman. They were my idols....but I am a bit jealous. I have a different sense of comedy. I am NOT a comedian, barely even a humorist.
He made them laugh. He made them angry. Because I illicit and incorporate my audiences boredom and lack of interest into my work, the critics have accused me of not being entertaining..the critics choose to savage me. If my name were a Kaufman, i would be recognized as a genius. I would be revered.
I have been told my work is considered unprofessional, sloppy. No protocol....blah blah blah. The list goes on and on. I take my breaks during a show, whenever I feel like it. I do not CHAIN my creative process into a format. Sometimes I nap in the middle of a song. Sometimes I just stop what I am doing and go do something else. Sometimes I go back to what I was doing. It is my artistic license, my right to abuse the awkward pause. Again, if I were a KAUFMAN, you would realize what I was doing. ....but i am not a Kaufman...not yet. We shall see after the ritual.
If I were a Kaufman, you would buy my used tissue paper from internet auctions. you would truly luf me then.
Yes, they called me Comedy Nazi? My Grand ma ma says we are dutch.
oh , are you referring to my way of dealing with someone who interrupted to my act?
No comedy for you...and I walk to each person who has behaved and whisper a joke or wish them well in life. But NOT for the offending party. They have chose to ruin my act. and it is MY act, not the audiences. I do this for ME. It is my art. If you are at my show, I would hope you are a fan. Why pay for a ticket if you do not wish to see me perform.
Yes, I once did a whole tour, reading a how to perform comedy book to the audience. I did write the book.
When the dr put me on diuretics , I took a large bucket on stage. Nothing interrupts my show except me, not even my bladder.
my work appears sloppy to some because I do not believe in EDIT. Everything that comes from me is art. EVERYTHING.
Let this one live. I do not have the power, or right, to make you accept my genius.
Yes, sometimes it appears I have a temper management issue. Rest assured, this is not true. When I am yelling, it means I do not know what to do in this situation. That is all. My temper is fine.
My fame has not changed me. I was called the exact same things by people I did not know before any of you knew who I was.
advice? Warhol said you all have 15 minutes of fame coming. Well, with inflation and depreciation, that is now 6 seconds. There is probably someone catering to that snippet of time now....
