My name is Cole and I'm a writer, performer and TV news producer.  Exciting things happen and I tell stories about them.

As a news producer, I deal in war and natural disasters - like tornados or Charlie Sheen. As a writer and performer, I deal in my own natural disasters - like my real life amnesia or the year I spent working on a documentary about the porn industry.

People are concerned when they meet me that I'll write something about them later on.  "Promise me that I won't wind up in your next show!" they say.  I tell them not to worry and that they're probably not as exciting as they think they are.
