"The Gory Gormet" is a ventriloquist show I used to
do in Nashville at the Slaughter House.  Bonehead (not
shown) was a little skull that wore a chef hat also.  It was a
fun show.  May it rest in peace here in the vault.
"Professor Derby's Toy Shop" is a lost show that
will never be completed.  It started out as a ventriloquist
show but when I became sick I shifted to puppets instead of
live acting.  It was meant to be a show for churches but now
lays dead here in the vault.
Yes, due to popular demand from you sickos, I
have returned
"Anti-Clause".
Originally a stand up act written for my brother, I
was talked into doing it as a late night adult act.  
So here it hides in the Vault.
"The Careless King"
A show I did for the Fire
Department about fire safety.
"Ye old shadow show"
A show I did for a Medieval
re-enactment group (SCA) with, what
else, shadows!
