I am extremely proud to announce that in September 2006 I won the Bill Hicks Spirit Award For Thought Provoking Comedy.

The award was created with the blessing of the Hicks family and is given to "an extraordinary emerging comedic talent who utilizes laughter to speak the truth & provoke thought." The winner was chosen by Bill's mother, Mary Reese Hicks.

Those of you who know Hicks realize it's wholly inadequate to say that I'm honored and humbled. At a minimum, I take it as encouragement and a reminder that - in comedy as well as life - sticking to one's guns, refusing to compromise, and coming from a place of love and respect can be rewarded. I've still got lots of work to do.

Forward.
