The crash where I lost my parents and sister, not to mention the use of my legs, feet, and toes. I've been living with them in Long Beach, a suburb of New York City, ever since I left the rehab hospital I went to after the horrible car accident. That's what I call my aunt, uncle, and cousins. In case you haven't noticed, I'm a stand-up comedian who doesn't exactly fit the job description. And, like I said, for this final Hollywood round, there are only eight of us still standing.Īctually, the seven other kids will be doing all the standing. This comedy gig is about to get super-serious. In three days, there will be no tomorrow, so who cares about the four-day forecast? This is for all the marbles, even though nobody actually plays marbles anymore. It all comes down to this, like they say on ESPN. It's what I'll probably be doing in, oh, maybe THREE DAYS! On cable TV's YUX channel.īy the way, dying onstage is what comedians call it when they flop, tank, or bomb so badly they're blasted with boos and pelted with week-old produce. Oh, in case you haven't heard, that shot comes in THREE DAYS.īut don't worry-even if you don't live in the Los Angeles area, you can watch me die. I've made it past the Sweet Sixteen all the way to the Elite Eight, where I'm hoping for a shot at the Final Four. My whole life has become this wild NCAA tournament of comedy. Teachers, strangers-even the billboards in Times Square! Unfortunately, everybody keeps reminding me of my impending doom. Now, in three days, I'll be in THE FINALS out in Hollywood. I've won a few rounds in something called the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic Contest-the local, state, regional, and semifinal competitions.

This way, when I die in three days, at least I won't be alone. Hi! I'm Jamie Grimm, and it's great to be back in front of an audience.
