SO WHEN DID YOU START DOING STAND-UP COMEDY?
I enlisted in the Army in 1973 with hopes of getting out 3 years later and going to college on the GI Bill. But the Army had other ideas and ended up sending me to West Point. After a year and a half I resigned to become a comedian. To my father it was like dropping out of the Human Race to be a cloud.
Dad was disappointed but fortunately I knew it was the right thing to do. After I left the Academy I studied theatre, and started doing stand-up on the side. Eventually it was more fun hanging out in bars and telling jokes for a little cash, than hanging out in theatres, doing Ibsen and trying to get funding.
WHERE HAVE YOU LIVED?
I have lived and worked out of LA, SF, Chicago, Dearborn MI, Hornell NY and now I am a seed in the big apple.
WHO IS THIS EDDY STRANGE GUY?
I started out working as Ross Bennett, then I changed my name to Eddy Strange , then back to Ross, back to Eddy and now I am back to Ross for good, I PROMISE.
