Wardrobe Change

Based on the urging of comedian Tim Bedore, I wore a tie on stage this weekend at The Jukebox Comedy Club in Peoria, IL. Tim's thinking was that it made me look more like an accountant on stage.


I was concerned that the tie might come across as too formal, so I loosened it a bit and rolled up my sleeves. The crowd reaction didn't seem to change. As a matter of fact, not a single person asked me if I was really an accountant because they all believed it.

Maybe my tie will be my new signature. Drew Carey has his glasses, Steve Martin has his suspenders, Jay Leno has his chin and now I have my tie.

I wear a smile. When I moved to NYC I tried a monotone voice and didn't move my arms, and I thought I came across as really cool. Good thing I taped it. I looked bored and exceptionally nervous. It's better to stick with who you are, so the rolled up sleeves sounds like a nice touch.

You'll also want to grow a Chuck Norris moustache.
