In 1979 Perry Kurtz moved to San Francisco and got his first paying "gig" as emcee and manager at the, now closed, Off Broadway Male Burlesque Club on Broadway. A few weeks later, at the request of screaming female patrons, he began stripping and created his "Comic Strip Routine" parody, which he opens with.
In 1983, he hit the road full time. By 1986, he was averaging 30 to 40 weeks a year headlining national comedy clubs. 1989 he relocated to Los Angeles, & quickly became a paid regular at The Comedy Store in Hollywood, and headliner at Dangerfields in New York City.
He is a 3 time winner of The LA Comedy Awards. And is the star of "Drinking Beer and Smoking Cigarettes" on YouTube, which hit one million views in 41 days.
