Comedian Jim Giordano
LA CONNECTION, STANDUP REPERTORY COMPANY, BURBANK COMEDY FESTIVAL
After a personal epiphany helped Jim acknowledge what a joke so much of his life has been, he recently made the decision to return to stand-up after taking a self-imposed, 25-year, comedy performing hiatus. While Jim's not ready to quit his day job for stand-up, that's only because his day job is being retired and he doesn't need to work too hard at doing that. "Retirement is easy," Jim says. "Comedy-- that's hard." As easy and hard as those things are, Jim vows he'll die before giving up either. "I'm committed to doing nothing and to doing stand-up," Jim announced. "Because that's the kind of lazy but committed guy I've become."

He has performed regularly at the L.A. Connection in Burbank. Though performing stand-up is fairly new to Perry, the entertainment business is not. Perry worked for over thirty years in television as a writer, producer, and director, primarily in sit-coms, such as “Barney Miller”, “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” and “On The Rocks”, to name a few. Perry’s left-of-center views of the world are quite unique, and he loves to share them with his audiences.
