Ghosts of Comedians Past

How I was doxxed by the Proud Boys

The poet and doctor William Carlos Williams lived and practiced medicine in my hometown of Rutherford. If you’re not familiar with his work, he wrote the world-renowned The Red Wheelbarrow. It’s a four stanza poem with each written to look like a wheelbarrow. This piece brought him fame in the literary world.

Williams was also a racist. Know your history, Rutherford.

Rutherford is home to the Williams Center, a venue that houses the Rivoli theatre– a Vaudeville-era stage. It was widely used back in the day, even by Buster Keaton. And me. It was where I performed stand up comedy for the first time, and I was one of the last performers there before it was shut down for safety concerns by Bergen County. I take great pride having shared that stage with the ghosts of some of the greats.

For real, it’s crazy haunted.
