Musical Comedian HT Rosen
ANSWERS FROM HT!
1. I was inspired to do comedy by my Father Al Rosen. he always distilled humour and cadence into me. The early cartskill comics were my heroes and 80s 90s comics deep seated the bug in me.
2.I had been a session drummer for years but the first night I took the stage as a comic was electric. There is a mix of fear of failure and excitement that wirled into a hazy 5 minutes on stage.
3. I still own eddie murphy raw on vinyl and I grew up on Rodney Dangerfields cable comedy show. I loved the friday night late night 30 min specials growing up before comedy central.
4. I love mad tv old episodes and earlier snl was a staple. anything john candy or Bill Murray always gets a fresh laugh even today. Kee and peele are awesome , as a duo comic its nice to see 2 comics thrive together on stage.
5.I have the pleasure of being on the road with a great comic i admire. so when touring with A Jew and aBlack Guy I get to tour with jordan stylez aka the black guy. when i am solo id liuke to tour with
