FAQS
 
Thanks for askin' these FAQ's.  Enjoy!  As always…xoxo, Kaitlin
 
WHAT WAS YOUR LCS (Last Comic Standing) AUDITION LIKE?
“The most sureal experience ever.  Two minutes of my life which I still can't remember a second of."
 
WHAT WERE YOU FEELING BEFORE LCS AIRED?
“Dread.  Sick to my stomach on May 30, 2006.  I know all about Reality Show Creative Editing Gone Bad (see Dick comments below) and I was terrified my nightmare would unfold on Network TV.  But, the opposite happened... within the first 15 minutes of the Pilot airing on the East Coast, I got a ton of phone calls and new MySpace Friends with messages of Congratulations!  I LOVE me my MySpace Friends!"
 
WHAT WAS IT LIKE WATCHING YOURSELF ON LCS?
“I didn't see my performance (hate watching myself) so I kept my hands over my eyes and only listened.  But I did watch the other Comics (you gotta keep an eye ~ or two ~ on the competition)."
 
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LCS ONLINE VOTE?
“Everything about the voting process was vague.  NBC cut 20 seconds of a song I sang because of possible copyright infringements (which sucks because its a very strong lead in joke) both On Line and on TV, so I really didn't pay much attention.  Until I WON WEEK #1, that is!  It was an honor because AMERICA (who only saw me do 1.40 mintues of my set) took the time to boot up, log on and vote for me!  Talk about a boost of confidence.  God Bless and Thank You, AMERICA!"
 
WERE YOU UPSET THAT YOU WEREN'T THE LAST COMIC DOWNLOADED?
“Are you kidding?  I would have loved another 5 minutes on National TV.  (I guarantee that the day after the Finale you wouldn't  be talking about the next Dat Phan).  And NO, I wasn't pissed an Unnamed Comic (can you say Thief-O Von? LOL!) launched a corrupt campaign to win (I've seen comics do worse for a lot less) but I was pissed NBC didn't at least give this part of the voting process the appearance of legitimacy."
 
DID YOU GET ANY LCS BAD PRESS?
"I was criticized by some parenting website for being vulgar because I said, 'I'm so uncomfortable around another woman's vagina, I was born Caesarian.'  (Hadn't realized vagina is obscene.  Oh well, as Bette Midler says... fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!) and I got a LOT of hate mail because I admitted to having a Gay Dad (all of it from my Gay Dad!)."
 
ANY GREAT STUFF COME FROM LCS?
"I signed with Booking Agent Kate Magill/SophieK.  Kate wasted no time and is booking me everywhere!  Kate rocks!"
 
AND...?
"Oh, yeah... BEACON PICTURES loved my pilot, BIG GAY DAD'S GUIDE TO LIFE and gave it to TOUCHSTONE to read!  (The suspence is killing me!  I'm biting nails.  All 20 of them.  How's that for a sexy mental Polaroid?)"
 
DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF LCS NEXT YEAR?
“Only as Host."
 
BEST PART OF LCS?
"Watching Jay Mohr perform (hands down the BEST Comic to grace the LCS stage ever!) And...my new 1,000+ MySpace Friends!  Love ya!"
 
WHAT WAS ROSIE O'DONNELL'S R FAMILY CRUISE LIKE?
The Emerald City afloat the Pacific.  Read more about The Gay Cruise (aka Tom!) on my MySpace Blog."
 
WHAT'S ROSIE LIKE?
"Everything you'd expect and then some... a real, no bullshit kinda dame... she told me, "You were funnier than half the people that made it into the (LCS) house." (You know I'll carry that compliment with me forever!)
 
HOW WAS IT PERFORMING AT THE L.A. GAY PRIDE FESTIVAL?
“Wearing a black corset, miniskirt, opera gloves and dripping in rhinestones, I followed Thelma Huston (amazing Disco legend) and performed for 3000+!  It was my first taste of Rock Star Comedy and I'm a total junkie!"
 
WHY DID YOU START DOING STAND UP AT 13?
“It was either that or another Summer at the world’s worst Sports Camp.  I never thought it would go any further.  That is, until my debut.  It was like the first time I tasted chocolate… I was hooked!" 

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT STAND UP?
“The  elation I experience when I make total strangers uncontrollably laugh out loud (aka A  Laugh Break).  It makes me nipples pop!”

WHAT DO YOU NOT ENJOY ABOUT STAND UP?
“The pay.”
 
ANY SPORTSMEN'S LODGE STORIES?
"L.A. was (and still is) in desperate need of a room where we comics can work out without having to ask their friends to shell out $20+ to watch them do 5 minutes.  The show took place outdoors on the Patio, so a few of the local Homeless would wander in and watch.  They were the best audiences to play to... if they liked you, they'd enthusiastically laugh and applaud...if they didn't, they'd throw Big Gulps full of urine. 
(Thankfully, I never left a show smelling like Fergi ~ if you need to ask 'Fergi, the Princess?  Or Fergi, The Black Eyed Pea?' you're too old to be reading this! LOL!)." 
 
“DO YOU WRITE ALL OF YOUR OWN MATERIAL?”
“Always have.  Stand up is a lot of trial and error, writing and re-writing.  I never would have found my “comic voice” if I had outside help.”

“HOW DO YOU HANDLE HECKLERS?”
“I‘ve only been heckled once.  (see “The Reality Show” below).”

“LARGEST CROWD YOU’VE EVER PERFORMED FOR?”
“I opened for the incredible Craig Shoemaker.  There were 2,000+ people in the house.  It was an unforgettable rush.”  (UPDATE:  See LA Pride Festival above) 

“WHAT ARE FUTCHES?”
“Come down to a show and find out, Motherfutcher!”

“WHAT'S "THE DIRTY BLONDE TOUR”?
“Lots of Stand Up, Singing, Dancing, Drag Queens and a couple of Comedy Shorts I Wrote and Directed: “BRITNEY: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?” and “BLACK BOYS”.

“IF NOT COMEDY WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO DO?”
“Dance in a cage.”

“LENO OR LETTERMAN?”
“Neither.  Oh, wait!  You mean which SHOW I'd like to do.  In that case... either."

“ARE YOU EVER RECOGNIZED IN PUBLIC?"
“Usually by my Truant Officer."

“WHY WAS ANDY DICK SO MEAN TO YOU ON MTV'S "THE REALITY SHOW”?
"All I'm going to say is... the closest the Dick's gotten to Stand Up Comedy is being America’s punch line.  Oh, and he's an asshole, too.”

“WHAT DID YOU SAY ON THE REALITY SHOW THAT WASN‘T AIRED?”

“Dick was dumping on me so I told him, “Shut your hole, mine’s making money.”  Apparently you can’t talk about Andy’s hole on MTV, but Bam can talk about his nutsack.  (Go figure).  And that complete waste of American Idol skin, Corey Clark (supposedly slept with Paula Abdul)  didn’t understand why I'd do a Jessica Simpson parody.  I said, “I was bored.  But not bored enough to fuck one of the judges.”  Dick threw a hissy fit so I barked back with, “Andy, you couldn’t fuck me with Dan’s (the Host) dick.”  (UPDATE: Another Unnamed Comic accused me of stealing this line from Jeff Ross' Pamela Anderson Roast.  First of all, I said it in August, 2005.  And secondly, as I'm sure Jeff himself will tell you, that line has been around since 1954.  FYI Unnamed Comic: Don't worry about who's stealing from who, learn how to tell a fucking joke.  You're not Pretty, nor Funny and I'm starting to doubt if you really are a Woman!")

“WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE OTHER “REALITY SHOW” CONTESTANTS?”
"As much fun as a yeast infection."

“WILL YOU EVER DO ANOTHER REALITY SHOW?”
“They say "Never say never" but...NEVER!"

“WHAT THE WORSE ADVICE YOU’VE EVER GOTTEN?”
“ ‘Stop doing stand up and become the next Hilary Duff.’  These pearls of unsolicited advice came from my FORMER Manager.  I was stunned.   (Even Hailey Duff doesn’t want to be the next Hilary Duff.)   Needless to say, we parted ways.  This experience proved ‘everything happens for a reason.’ 
Shortly after this, I met the incredible Caresse Henry.  I first met her when I was 14 when she was managing Madonna.  Ever since then Caresse is one of the single-most important female influences in my life.”

“DID YOU REALLY DANCE ON STAGE WITH MADONNA?”
“During The Reinvention Tour she had two dance pits on stage.  I was in the Stage Left one.  After she finished “Vogue” she had an offstage costume change.  I caught her eye and she smiled and even waved to me!”

“WHAT’S THE BEST COMEDY ADVICE YOU’VE EVER GOTTEN?”
“Louie Anderson: "(When doing stand up at a club) get up, do your set and leave."
 
“WHAT’S THE BEST NON-COMEDY ADVICE YOU’VE EVER GOTTEN?”
“My Talking Barbie: "Anorexia is cheaper than bullemia."

“ANY ADVICE FOR YOUNG ASPIRING COMICS?”
“Find your own voice.  Don’t steal from other Comics (bad karma).  Don’t steal from me (my Lawyer will rip your throat out).  Most importantly, when it stops being fun, STOP.”

“#1 FAVORITE DIRECTOR?”
“It's a tie...Sofia Coppola and Doug Liman.  Doug was the Executive Producer on my FOX Pilot.  Nothing ever happened with the show but I spent many hours learning everything I could from him.”

“DRUGS OR ALCOHOL OR BOTH?”
“I’ve never done drugs and I honestly have no desire.  My Dad has told me in detail his experiences with acid, Quaaludes and speed in college (it was the 70’s) and it has completely turned me off.  But, I do love me my Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum.  (I mean… when I’m legal, I probably will love Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum).”

“IS YOUR DAD REALLY GAY?”
“Why, do you want to blow him?”

“WHAT’S YOUR TYPE?”
“I used to think... anyone that Lindsay Lohan hasn't slept with but that just leaves Chastity Bono and he's not my type.  Prince Harry.  Yeah, I like ‘em young, dumb and royal.”

“WERE YOU THE CLASS CLOWN IN HIGH SCHOOL?”
“No.  A real bookworm.”

“FEARS?
“Sharks and Joan Rivers.”

“WORST FEAR?”
“Being in a shark tank with Joan Rivers.”

“WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? ”
"MOVIES, TV, RECORDS, WRITE, DIRECT, PUBLISH, HOST, NIGHTCLUB OWNER.  Y’know, rule the world kinda stuff.”

“WERE YOU REALLY IN PARIS HILTON’S STOLEN SIDEKICK?”
“Yeah, but she spelled my last name incorrectly (a major pet peeve) and there was speculation that Paris's friend COLUMBO meant she had mob connections.  No, the only connection Paris has to a mob is their demands that she never record another album.”

“OTHER INTERESTS?”
“Poker, Pool, Sudoku.”
