John Hague
I'm just a simple man. A simple man who likes having his voice amplified in cramped rooms, so any and all who pass by can be deafened by what wit I call insight, and what sophmoric banter I call comedy.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Umm...I performed and New York Comedy Club, Ha! Comedy Club, Gotham, Boston Comedy Club, and Stand Up New York amongst others. A fellow in the trenches and I ran a show down in the village for a Year under the somewhat confusing title of Halfies. I perform nightly in the bedroom. Unfortunatly it's still mostly a comedy act.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I'm a New York comic, and I can't see doing it any place else. My crowning achievement still being, stopping on a street corner in Hell's Kitchen and hearing a bunch of sailors, in for fleet week, repeat one of my jokes to their friends. It was certainly a high point of the weekend, where I spent most of my time in a corner of a sports bar, listening to a bunch of sailors, in for Fleet week, proposition my girlfriend. It was nice to have some alone time that Saturday morning.
