  • About

    John’s ‘Shakespeare’ version of The Three Little Pigs has been viewed millions of times, and his book “A Triune Tale of Diminutive Swine” is in its 3rd reprinting. John is featured on nine recorded comedy projects with people like Ken Davis, David Jeremiah, Ted Cunningham and Tim Hawkins.

    In November of 1990, John took the stage at an Indianapolis comedy club with the intention of getting comedy out of his system. “I figured they’d at least boo me off stage. Worst case scenario, they’d throw stuff at me.”

    As it turned out, there was no booing or throwing.

    And since that fateful maiden voyage, John has made lots of people laugh from coast to coast. On stage, he’s energetic and contagiously enthusiastic about numerous topics including: Electronic cigarettes, Snuggies, automatic flushing toilets and the proper age to stop chewing your shoe in church.

    Born and raised in the heart of fly-over country, John is committed to “comedy that won’t leave a filthy residue“. There’s nothing in his act that you wouldn’t want to hear your children repeat. (In fact, if your children repeat anything he says, send him a video copy of it…he’d love to see it!)

    People didn’t invent laughter. It was given to us by someone who knew we’d enjoy it. Every show, my goal is to hurt people. Seriously. I want people’s jaws to ache. I want their sides to cramp up. I want them to experience dizziness from oxygen deprivation. When they are in pain, I’ve done my job.”

    And hundreds of audiences eagerly respond, “Bring on the pain…”

    “Every show is a little different and totally unforgettable. He's comfortable in front of small groups and big crowds and his high energy performance leaves the audience literally 'crying with laughter'.”
