Default My stand up career never took off, so

I sat down and cried like a clown, and the joke was on me.

Just so I can point to it down the road, I do have a script in progress called, STAND-UP ASSASSIN ...She killed em with laughter from the stage, and then left them dead in the streets.

Loosely based on the book by Chuck Barris (GONG show) who claimed he was a CIA assassin...HA!

My FEATURE follows comedian Sally Houston as she tours the world, leaving a path of corpses behind her.

Detective Barlow takes his girl friend to see Sally in Cleveland and later that week a prominent person turns up dead. This sets off a Deja Vu moment for Barlow who recalls a similar murder 14 years ago in San Francisco, right after seeing Sally for the first time. Thanks to the Internet and Way Back Machine he connects the dots.

A thriller. Those who can, stand-up, those who can't, write stories about them.
