Broadway performer (and hottie) John Carroll writes another (very) funny piece for the HuffPost about odd jobs he has taken while chasing the dream. Well worth the read!

Posted: 10/11/12 at 12:38pmOK HuffPost, I am officially embarrassed for you. If that piece was paid for, well, journalism is in deep trouble.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 2:04pmI couldn't get through it. He's credited as a "Broadway Performer and Writer". Ugh. Technically, I suppose it is true. He did write...something.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 2:23pmAwww, I don't think it was badly written. He's just trying a little too hard to Sedaris us into submission.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 2:26pmThis guy went to Juilliard and he's not steadily working as a performer?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Yes, believe or not, your Julliard diploma does not double as "Get into Broadway Free" card.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 5:33pmPoor, poor guy. I mean, here he wants to be a dancer and performer, and he's *forced* to spend some time working as a dancer and a performer at Disney World! And Radio City Music Hall! Wow, it's a hard life.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 5:37pmMaybe he thinks it shows a sense of style, but I don't understand why sometimes he acts coy ("I danced for a certain well known modern dance company", but you know, must keep quiet about who it is, or not mentioning Daisy Eagan by name), and other times name drops Twyla Tharp. AND he had to work *retail*! Because nobody but poor starving performers are forced to work jobs like that...

I thought it was funny...except when it came to that awful Dahmer joke he made. from RC in Austin, Texas
P.S. For you young people who are not familiar with Jeffrey Dahmer, he lured young men and then killed/consumed some of them. Nothing f'ing funny about that Mr. John Carroll!
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
