My Super Exaggerated Resume

I am many things, but modest isn’t necessarily one of them.  Even still, I do try to accurately depict my past experience and current skillset.  But I have noticed, especially in the entertainment industry, a lot of people like to inflate what they’ve done as much as possible.

As such, here is my super exaggerated comedy résumé.  My “claim” is listed in bold and the reality of it listed in parenthesis.

  • International Comedian (I performed for my family in Mexico) with fans in more than 50 countries (based on the people who have visited my website).
  • Published Author (by publishing an article on ezinearticles.com).
  • International corporate humor trainer (An internal training I did had some people call in Europe and Asia).
  • One of the Funniest People in Cincinnati (finalist in “Funniest Person in Cincinnati 2008”).
  • Award winning corporate humorist (I won an internal award for building the organization for a team-building workshop).
  • As seen (in the audience) on The Daily Show, Late Night with David Letterman, and Comedy Central Presents.
  • As seen at the Cincinnati Brew Haha Comedy Festival (in the up-and-coming show), the New York Underground Comedy Festival (in the open competition), the New York Comedy Festival (at the open call auditions), and the New York Television Festival (I wasn’t in it, but I was there as an audience member).
  • Has worked with Daniel Tosh, Jo Koy,and Mark Curry (they performed after a competition I was in), Steve Caminiti (we were on the same benefit show), Steve Trevino, Joe Starr, and Pauly Shore (I MCed for their shows at the Funny Bone).
  • (Co-)Founder of the 8th Floor Improv Comedy Group, the (self-proclaimed) Premiere Improv Comedy Group in Columbus that is “loud, unpredictable, and hilarious” (according the OSU campus newspaper, The Lantern).
  • Member of the Smarty Pants Theater Company, the Best Comedy Troupe in Cincinnati, OH (according to a local Cincinnati newspaper), has been described as nonstop hilarity (by a high school newspaper).
  • Member of ComedySportz New York, (self-described as) America’s favorite funny, fast, and clean show for the whole family.
  • Principle character on the (not much of a) hit sitcom, Kollege (airing on OSUs college TV channel).
  • Writer for the PanDesi network (submitting sketches for one of their shows), reaching over 50 million viewers across the United States.
  • Has been called “hilarious” (as in “that one joke is hilarious”), “funny and smart” (that’s what my mom says), and “one of the funniest people I’ve ever heard” (I have to be in at least the top 1 million funniest people you’ve ever heard).
