Comedy did not appear out of nowhere. There were greats who came and changed the landscape forever and many more who worked their whole lives to never achieve greatness, but in so doing were great. This page was created to pay tribute to these greats, and to pay tribute to their contributions to our industry. If you would like to learn more about them, we welcome you to read the page below.
The New England Comedy Guide proudly pays tribute to someone who was by every measure a working comedian. He spent years touring and working with many top acts. Though he was never the biggest star in the sky, most comedy enthusiasts would recognize him by sight and smile.
He appeared in a large number of films and TV shows, including the Seinfeld finale. Again, like so many professional comedians, never achieving the desired level of success.
He was also extremely popular in Canada and performed several tours as well as being highly sought after at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal.
The real key to understanding him isn't to wax philosophical about him or tell stories. He represents the comedian class. He worked hard, lived his life to make people laugh and the world was better because he was here.
