DNA, Neighbor

DNA won the 1990 Showtime College Comedy Laff-Off in Chico, CA at Chico State University and then proceeded to waste the next 19 years in Chico, starting concert series and festivals, booking over 2000 bands, writing one of the first country/rap songs ever, publishing a novel, running for Mayor and saving the Senator Theatre.  From his adventures as Timothy Leary's driver, to being the opening act for Ralph Nader, to serving as editor of three Republican newspapers (Don't ask, don't tell), DNA is on the fast track to national attention (as a general nuisance). A writer, director and actor, DNA has moved to the Bay Area to pursue a career doing standup comedy. He has run a weekly room in Santa Cruz for four years at The Blue Lagoon (Thursday nights, 8:30, FREE) and has no intention of stopping. Recently, he was asked to join the BOD of the prestigious Comedy Day in Golden Gate Park and was heard on NPR’s show Snap Judgment.
