CP Sideshow 91 - Comedian Jim Colliton aka JimWhat

30-year touring comedian Jim Colliton chats with Joe and Jacques about coming up as a comic in Boston in the 90s and life as a touring comic today.  “You do the comedy for free but get paid to travel.”  And Jim travels … monthly 2 shows a day 7 days a week on cruise ships!

Joe and Jacques saw Jim at Luna Theater (inside Mill 5 in Lowell) at Greg Boggis’ Mondo Comedy.  His written bits killed and his crowd work slayed!  Jim talks about developing those two skills, being a dad and advice to fledging comings getting started … you know … like Jacques.

And being a insanely small world … Jim and Jacques turns out not just went to Fitchburg State at same time … but in October of 1989 were both on ice together trying out for the college hockey team! 

Jim is also a staple at the comedy clubs around New England, check his website, get off your ass and get to a show … you’ll thank us!
