Head Shots

Here are my new headshots. These are the two I liked best.

I hope they are ok for now. Because...I don't have a job to get anymore!

Tell me what you think!

Aah Christ!

Aah Christ! A Sketch Show!
May 18,19, 25,26th
Gorilla Tango

My Directorial/Produce-orial debut. This sketch show was super super fun and I had the time of my life.

Mostly written by me (some sketches I had no hand in) it had only 4 performances at Gorilla Tango.

It was so neat. It started with God himself finding out that Jesus was going to put on a sketch show. Alas, Jesus isn't that creative so we will find out if he can do well at all.
These are the ones I wrote:

Jesus has his own talk show "Jesus Talks" and interviews first Beatrice, a superficial woman who asks for bigger boobs, the Devil himself, and then Tom Cruise. It always ends to quickly in Jesus' opinion but ends just at the right time for us.

Next was Meth Morals, which was about a group of lovely kids trying to make a present for thier friend Jose. They need to work together to make this present and it just happens to be crystal meth. (this is one of my favorite sketches)
Then came WiffleBored, a silly scene about two people on a cruise and one is super bored so they just make up names for games so her friend can give her money to go and gamble. (its good times)
The Alley was one that was intermingled between these sketches about a guy who is walking around the wrong alley and gets propositioned by people to buy watches, cigars, and eventually a bible. The bible isn't exactly filled with words...more like...cigars and watches...
Another one of my favorite ones was Mono Musical. This one I wrote in one fell swoop. Its about a couple of kids on their first date. One has mono and has to sing about it. The other had the gout last summer and they both come to the conclusion that it would be great if they got mono together and watched Heathers. (which is the best solution obviously)
Benny and the Jets. Best Sketch Ever. This one is about a girl gang. They scare away people by dancing. Perfect. Oh and it takes place in the early 90s. of course.
The empire Sketch is the co-written sketch with two of my buddies. The Emperor decided to throw a BBQ for his sith lords and a couple of neighbors. He is highly competitive and when Mary brings her award winning guacamole he gets very pushy and they end up Slow motion fighting. You had to see it. Its super.
In the End God decides that this sketch show went fairly well, or in Gods words "on a scale of one to ten..I didn't hate it"

This show was so fun for me. I casted it myself and the cast worked so well together and now we're all fun super friends!
The audience really liked it...or shall I say it was very well received. The last night we had 60 people and I actually made money on this thing.
All in all I would do this again.But for now I think I need to audition and BE on stage. I need it!

Mary Kay Latourneau Story: A Karaoke Musical

Mary Kay! The teacher who slept with her student! 12 years old no less. Well, it was bound to happen, making a show out of this silly lady.
Last year we improv'd (or improved as it were) a completely hilarious show about Mary Kay Latourneau.
Filled with characters including, Steve, Mary Kay's husband, John Schmitz, her father and Michelle, her best friend. I played the senile grandmother of Steve Latourneau, Nana Nadine. A character very close to my heart even if she was crazy. Also under my wing was Peter the cop. A very nice cop just havin the time of his life. Men are always fun to play, so I had a great time with him as well.
Mary Kay was such a fun show. No show could be better as my premiere in Chicago. The "Big City". And tomorrow is the last day of the Mary Kay show! Sad. Yes. But we did get a couple of awesome reviews!!!
Here are a couple!

TimeOut Chicago

"Leslie Nesbit breathes new life into the senile grandmother stereotype, unblinkingly dropping punch lines on everything from dead cats to sexual acrobatics." -Brian Golden

Centerstage Chicago

"coping with her befuddled grandmother Nana Nadine (one of several roles skillfully played by Leslie Nesbit)" - Colin Douglas


Well, There it is! One of my favorite shows I have ever done. I couldn't have asked for more of a great time. Seriously. Cause, well I can't ask for stuff like that. mwa hahahaa. :0)

This is where I tell you how cool I am.

So here it is, I'm trying to make one of those Actors/cast me/i'm cool blogs.
Alas, I'm not to good at html or the sorts so this page was not designed by me.

So how do I tell you who I am without telling to much?
Questions.

1. What? You're an actor? Sure, what have you done?

Oh my gosh, what Haven't I done is more like it! Ha! I'm mainly into sketch comedy and improvisation. Although I've dabbled in standup a few times, successfully I might add, of course it could have been because my friends were in the audience. But hey, if you friends don't think you are hilarious who will? hm. I didn't answer that question.

2. Yeah, but thats nothing with out education...

I have a BFA in theatre performance from Eastern New Mexico University. Yeah, I do. From good ol Portales New Mexico.
Some of my favorite roles were : Karen/Jake's Women , Gogo/Waiting for Godot, and Charlotte/Beyond Therapy

3. Really? wow, what ELSE do you do?

I play piano. I write. I cannot do cartwheels.

4. Dang. Well thank you for this short interview, how can I contact you?

You can email me by commenting here, or visit my awesome myspace page (because who Doesn't have one?) at www.myspace.com/a27monkey

Well, folks I have to go enter data. Thanks for tuning in, I hope to make this page an entertaining one as well as one I can use to get cast somewhere.
Good times people, good times...
