Marquis Oz
Welcome to my "CLEAN" stand-up comedy site!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In 1999-2000 Fri. nights on MCN Twin Cities regional access I hosted & produced "GameQuest TV" which later became "Scalywags TV" which added stand-up & sketch comedy to video-game reviews (it was the forefather of today's G4 television channel!).
I have also produced & directed 3 short films.
"The Fancy Ray Project" (1999)
"My Former RoomMate" (2002)
"Matt's Room (2004)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have taken a shine to the comic-book & gaming convention crowds. I plan to do more conventions.
Of course there's the neverending world of open mic-ing! But then again, trying out new stuff at a paying gig is not recommended!
My favorite live performance (among many) was in Aug. 2004, when I performed my first 90 min. 1-Man-Show! The 1st 40 min. was the best stand-up set I had done to that date and the final 50 min. was all music (including my surprise character performance of Swedish Death-metal's "DemoNPrayeR")! Portions of this show will be included on my 4th comedy album "SWiiT" (2007).
