What’s wrong with nine-year-old Jesse? He can’t sit still, he curses, he raps, and you can’t get him into-or out of-pajamas. His teacher thinks it’s Attention Deficit Disorder. Dad says, “He’s just a boy!” And Mama’s on a quest for answers. Is Jesse dysfunctional, or just different? Don’t we all have ADD, to some degree? She consults a psychologist, a homeopath, a neuropsychologist, and an environmental physician. She talks to neighbors, whose kids have their own diagnoses, A psychiatrist prescribes Ritalin for Jesse, but surely a pill can’t solve all of his problems. Throughout , Jesse is an offstage voice, becoming louder and angrier, but he is in danger of fading away. And his parents’ marriage is in peril. Everyone is distracted, even the actors- they’re breaking character! A hilarious, provocative, and poignant look at a modern family and an epidemic dilemma: Are we so tuned into our 24/7 info-rich world that we’ve tuned out what really matters?

I dont want a lot for Christmas, there’s just one thing I need… I need you, to come out and pack the room for a Christmas comedy special. My buddy John Bassett is taping that night and I hear taping goes better with a live audience. It’s only $10 and to top it off you’ll hear some of my new stuff…

Did the 8 pm main room show, its called comedy madness which is exactly what it was, for me anyway. I headlined the show which is usually great but on a Monday night when the show starts at 8 and you don’t hit the stage until 11:30 the majority of your audience has gone home. I was told I’d get 7 minutes but I knew I was given the light at 5… what are you gonna do, people wanna go home… the rest of my new material will have to wait.
