Description
FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 22 - 26 THE DC IMPROV WILL BE A COLLECTION SITE TO DROP OFF COSTUMES AND DECORATIONS TO HELP BRING THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN TO THE CHILDREN. NO CANDY OR EDIBLE ITEMS PLEASE. ALL GIFTS MUST BE BRAND NEW FOR DISEASE/INFECTION CONTROL.
Schimmel's big break came when Rodney Dangerfield spotted him and invited him to appear on HBO's "Young Comedian Special." Since then he has gone on to appear on "Conan O'Brian," "Comic Strip Live," Joan Rivers, Oprah and was a writer for Fox's "In Living Color."
His extraordinary rise can be traced to his unique brand of blue humor that pushes the envelope of adult humor and modern sexual attitudes.
Schimmel is also a regular on the Howard Stern Show and stole the show at last year's prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Festival. His new CD was produced by William E. McEuen, the man behind the comedy careers of Steve Martin, Steven Wright and Sam Kinison.
"Real humor comes from real life. That's where I draw my inspiration," says Schimmel.

Being close to death, Robert never lost his sense of humor, and used his sense of humor to get him through an incredibly difficult disease and subsequent medical complications. Robert takes an audience on a journey, from growing up the son of Holocaust survivor parents,...Links
