What comedian has been your biggest
online influence?
Right now it's inspiring to see so many comedians promote themselves
on line but the funny thing is the fact that the internet allows
comedians to be comedians without ever having worked on an act.
That means you can't fake it yet some comics have thousands of fans
on line just because they hustle...but to me all that means is now
thousands of people know you suck. But seeing what Dane Cook and
Russel Peters have done over the last several years has been cool.
Both of them have very strong acts so when they exploded on the
net at least they were able to back it up with some really funny
content.
Do you tend to get more bookings
direct from your agent/manager or through direct contacts?
If my manager and agents got me as much work as i got my
self I'd be doubly successful. To be honest, they all kind of suck.
But I just got myself a really big role on a really big project
so I'm eager to see which ambulance chaser are going to come out
of the woodwork once that comes to fruition. You can always rely
on their greed.
Does selling merchandise online help support the costs of
running your website?
Selling merch on line is helpful
for a little extra cash but hasn't been a big money maker as of
yet. To me I'm happy to have the site and the merch section in place
for when the real wave of success starts happening. I feel once
my TV and movie exposure starts to happen the site will begin to
attract more fans, more bookings and and more people that can't
live without and Egocentric Cow T-Shirt!!!
