Comedian Glenn Malan JON LUVIT'S COMEDY CLUB, HOOTERS,
Grew up in Eugene, OR (No, I don't sell weed. stop asking). I was always the awkward kid, constantly trying to make people smile yet always coming across as shy. Sometimes I tried to hard to make people like me and ended up sending the wrong message. That could very well have been me compensating for the fact that I am gay but I was way too terrified to tell anyone. I always knew I wanted to do something that made people laugh. After 21 years in Oregon, I moved to southern California. It was here that my sense of humor really started to blossom, no longer confined to jokes about male genitals. When I turned 27, I ended up opening a fortune cookie that had the fortune of " Now is the time to share your humor with everyone." I figured stand-up comedy would be a good outlet for that. BOOK
