THANKS TIM DRAKE / ROOTS AGENCY FOR 30 YEARS AS AGENT
Yeah I’m loyal. Yeah he booked over 2500 shows for me. Everything from my veterinarian’s picnic to 150 shows with George Carlin. But as I have entered the most creative stretch of my later career and in need of a wider acoustic show Rolodex and he begins to consolidate and roll his office up into a somewhat less pro-active thing heading towards his retirement, we’ve decided to so amicably part businesses as friends over some sushi, some tears, and some story:.
Tim:
“So the first time I’d heard of you was when I was a promoter looking for an opener for a clearly MS-diminished Richard Pryor to round out the evening. My friend Sean LaRoche sent me your cassette and package and while I thought you were talented and considered calling you, I really needed a comedian as opener to make this evening work. So I filed your CV and tape for later review, and went with this young, aspiring comic Richard’s agency had sent my way. They sent me this young kid named Dave Chapelle...”
OK fine. You dumped me for that hack? I nearly choked on my nori roll at this story. Oh your guilt for all those years…
Thank you for everything. The career. The friendship. The career. For you and your whole family crying when I played "Walk Slowly With Me”. For your candid appreciation of what I do. For getting me.
All: I am now booked by Craig Grossman at BLACK OAK ARTISTS
