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.

Many of the folks have been talking about you including our shelter receptionist Yolanda who thought you were absolutely hilarious! You were great and it was fun to have you with us!
