You sing funny songs for a living. If forced to choose, do you consider yourself a comedian or a musician?
Not unlike a member of the transgender community, I am a musician trapped in the body of a comedian. Someday I hope to have career re-assignment surgery. To the public, I'm a comedian who sings. Let's face it, they pay good money to see my shows and couldn't care less about what kind of guitar I play or how many octaves my range is or if a song is in drop-d tuning, they just want to laugh. Like a penis, this is both a blessing and a curse.
