Still, when he moved to New York in 1996 his intention was to become an actor. Where again did the comic came in? – When his friend from the West Bank Café suggested that he play some of the comic songs he had written giving him the start of his success in comedy clubs and other hang-out venues (including Catch a Rising Star and Caroline’s) while becoming a regular on radio-shows like Opie and Anthony.
