February Made Me Shiver

Nothing like a Don McLean reference to get this shtick off to a great start, as in hey, you start-led me with your obscure reference.  The previous sentence might contain word play, but I'm not playing.  I'm serious.  Serious as a heart attack, which is the standard (and poor) answer to how serious are you?

There's so much not going on in my career I don't know where to stop.  But that's not what this is about.  You don't come to this website for career updates.  You don't come here at all, unless you were looking for the professional wrestling guy who has the same name as me, and stumbled here by mistake.  I wish I was the other Andy Kindler, just so I wouldn't have to keep reading his credits on my IMDB page and getting agitated.  Plus that's all I really need to round out my career.  "You may recognize our next comedian as Jamison from the World Wrestling Federation.  He wasn't Jamison from the World Wrestling Federation but feel free to recognize him that way.  Or don't recognize him.  Watch his comedy without identifying him."

Well, I guess that covers none of it.  Once again I was able to construct a series of words and sentences that convey no information.

Love,
Andy Kindler

But going from pro wrestling to stand-up was your most impressive accomplishment.

[Andy Kindler]

And going from stand up back to pro wrestling will be similar to the last scene of Raging Bull.

Andy!!

I do come here for career updates. I want to see you on my 13 inch Black and White Panasonic much more than I currently do. Tell Worldwide Pants to get off their corporate ass and come up with a "vehicle" for you. How about this, Andy Kindlers Zoo follies!! You travel the country working in America's best zoos and giving us a close up view of the zany antics of those lovable domestic and exotic creatures. And then....oh excuse me, I think my Carbon Monoxide detector just went off....

later,

I saw this in a press release & thought you'd be interested...

Aaron David Ward loves to make people laugh and to organize. Now the 36-year-old professional stand up comedian from upstate New York is combining his two loves into one business. His latest venture Humorous Home Orangizing TM will allow him to entertain and earn a living onstage and offstage by delivering comedy right to peoples’ homes.

The comedian has toured the Northeast and the Midwest for the past six years performing in comedy clubs, colleges, bars, pubs, restaurants, and small theaters. Mr. Ward appeared in the Boston Comedy Festival in 2006. At some point while behind the wheel of his car for more than eight hours, Mr. Ward realized he could deliver stand up - live - right in people’s homes and organize them at the same time. As far as he knows, no other stand up comedian or organizing service offers “home-delivered” stand up comedy.

“It’s like home owners will ‘download’ me – live – to their living rooms where I perform my act and organize their bookshelves, closets, and files afterward. If this idea takes off I envision a franchise in every state by 2020,” Mr. Ward said.

He was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder in 2001. OCD is frequently characterized by a need to alphabetize, arrange, and file. “Some look at OCD as a mental illness or impairment; I prefer to look at it as a gift…with which I can make a living,” Mr. Ward said.

Humorous Home Organizing TM is just starting so Mr. Ward has no fancy vans or spiffy uniforms, just a love of organizing and making people laugh. He’s looking for venture capitalists and other investors intrigued by the concept who share his vision for what he believes will be a profitable enterprise.

mr. kindler, i continually reference your comedy central stand up show (i saw for the first time a few months ago) in everyday jargon (which only one other person gets) and we watched it as many times possible on-demand! we have been searching everywhere to catch you live. we're in southern cali, but would take a trip for the entertainment. must say, i love the sarcasm...sheer brilliance. any anticipated show dates???

[Jon Krongard]

Hey Andy...see you're booked in for a gig at the Lakeshore Theater here in Chicago for March 21.....getting tickets.....looking forward to seeing you.....Drinks or something afters??? My email is attached to this msg if you want to respond.

And dress warm...if you think February is cold where YOU are you will LOVE late March in Chicago :)

Can't wait to see ya....and I promise, no heckling....well, maybe a little :)

Jon K.

I've never seen a wrestler with the name "The Heckler" but I would pay good money to see one get beat up.

I'm not sure if this will make things less or more confusing, but here goes...

"Jamison" was a character on WWF TV shows in the early 90s. He was portrayed as an ultra-nerdy fan. In the few pictures you can find online of him, he does sort of resemble you, enough of that if someone showed their friend the picture while you were on TV, and said "This is that guy 15 years ago!", it wouldn't be very hard to believe.

I admit I am one of the people that may be guilty of spreading the rumor, but only because I have posed the question of "Is it true Andy Kindler was once Jamison?" on a few websites. Sorry!

[Jon Krongard]

Pack snow shoes Andy...here we go again out here.

Will see you Saturday nite. Can't wait!

Jon

Hey Andy,

It was good working with and meeting you in Chicago this weekend.

Look me up the next time you're in town and we can work on our improv.

Take care,
Ken Barnard

Why don't you just start going by David Kindler and eliminate the confusion?

[David Kindler]

Will do.

[JP]

Now I'm confused, is this David or Andy?

[Not David Kindler]

I think it's Andy.

See, we're right back where we started. I tell you, you can't get anywhere on this site.
