Me (Adam Rothenberg) & Jason Dottely
A Sordid Comedy Affair, Comix Comedy Club NYC 2009

1. Who inspired you to become a performer/singer? Madonna, 100%. I'm even considering adopting a baby from Malawi, that's how dedicated I am. Lady Gaga has had an impact too!
 
2. When did you realize you wanted to be a performer/singer? I used to be a magician. Yes, it's true. I even had two doves that I could make disappear. It's been in my blood my whole life. I'm a ham.
 
3. Who is the one person you haven't worked with that you would like to? Madonna.
 
4. Do you have any strange or unusual talent that no one knows about? I'm incredible at giving head. But a few people are aware of it :)
 
5. What has been your best and worst experience in a show? Worst experience was in Mobile because I performed to a wall of discontent lesbians. My best so far has been in DC because the club was great, the crowd was great, and I had four hot deliciously chocolate dancers who were incredible!

6. Describe your worst shopping experience? In Vegas at 19, I bought a stripper with my best friend. I asked for a white guy with a swimmer's build. The company sent a hispanic guy who was built like a orange peddler. I sent him back. Strippers are expensive, you should get what you pay for.
 
7. Favorite kind of sundae (ice cream flavor & toppings)? Caramel and fudge, nuts, NO WHIPPED CREAM.
 
8. Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts? What do you order? Regular coffee at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts is disgusting. Bring on the Krispy Kreme or the Shipley's.
 
9. Favorite website? www.madonnnalicious.com
 
10. Superman or Wonder Woman? She-ra
