Poor Barnum's Journal

I was born in Manhattan General Hospital in New York City, and grew up in North Bergen, New Jersey. At the age of 6, my family (Mom, Dad and younger sister Carolyn) moved to Far Rockaway, Long Island, New York and I attended P.S. 106 Horace Mann Public School and Far Rockaway High School. I graduated both and attended Syracuse University majoring in Industrial Design, graduated with a Degree in Industrial Design, and immediately went to Greenwich Village, New York and became a Stand-Up Comedian, did Summer Stock in Plattsburgh in Upstate New York, and have been performing in show business ever since.
