Jon is really an old man who lives in the sea, but no one will ever catch him OR his magical lucky charms.
orrrr...if you preferrr....
An accomplished actor and comedian, Jon brings an energy to the stage matched only by hobos fighting over a piece of meat. Originally from San Diego, his first noted gig would come from the launching of his voice over career via a guest spot on the popular animated series "Dragonball Z." More recently he has been seen both on the television series "The Ex-List" on CBS, "My Profile Story" on Comedy Central’s Atom TV, award winning movies like Donut Shop Hero and Save Ron Jr., and is the voice of the main character Jarvis in "PAIN," the most purchased title on the Playstation 3 gaming system. A master impressionist, no celebrity is safe as Jon takes on everyone in his act using the same skills he's honed through years of being a voice actor to delight audiences with spot on vocal likenesses, ensuring a fun night out regardless of one's age. In the rare occurrences that he's not brushing his hair or watching wrestling, he does play-by-play for the AWA, and studies with the world renowned Groundlings school of Improvisation out of LA, at times incorporating improv into his stand up act for a more interactive show.
