Jim Mendrinos

jimmendrinos.jpgJim Mendrinos has been entertaining comedy audiences since the age of 19. For nearly two decades he has brought his observations, opinions and inspired lunacy to countless audiences to overwhelming praise. His one-man concert, a spiraling stream of consciousness, is a dialogue that challenges, while at the same time reaches everyone in the audience. His style is effortless and his material is the type you will quote for months afterwards.

As a writer, Jim Mendrinos is in constant demand. His quick-witted style has been utilized on shows like Saturday Night Live, Letterman, and Dennis Miller Live. He was the head writer and associate producer of the syndicated series THUNDERBOX, and most recently he was tabbed by producers at NBC to pen segments of the Christmas special starring Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes.

How good a comedy writer is Jim Mendrinos? He wrote the book on it - literally! The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Comedy Writing was released in July 2004 to brisk sales and critical praise! Available in bookstores everywhere.

"... We would like to take this time to thank you for a job well done for the Richmondville Fire Department Fund Raiser... We had a great turn out and a lot of laughs. ... We were very pleased that John Mulrooney stepped in to help out.

The event was well received and talked about for days after. We had a great time and the money made was great for a small department such as ours.

We would like to make this an annual event if you think that is a possibility... Thank you again for a great time."
