|  Scott
Meltzer is the head writer and chief performer
for Comedy Industries. He has degrees in math
and computer science from U. C. Berkeley where
he graduated with honors. An ex-IBMer and a Watson
Scholar, he chooses to spend his time juggling
knives on a six foot unicycle. He has performed
at more comedy clubs, trade shows, and corporate
events than any other computer programmer in the
world.
In
addition to his performing skills, Scott has written
commercials for radio, computer code for database
systems, interviews for professional wrestling
and over two hundred scripts for trade shows,
training sessions and other corporate events.
Scott has also taught comedy writing since 1991.
Scott
started performing as a child actor at the age
of 10 with the award winning San Jose Children's
Musical Theater alongside such future stars as
Charley
McGowan,
Megan
Hart,
Paula
Mulcahey
and Eilana
Lappalainen.
In
college, Scott met John Park and together they
formed the American Dream Comedy Team. They won
first place in The San Francisco Street Performers'
Festival, an honor which led to lucrative bookings
in Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia. These first
international shows led to further bookings back
on the streets of San Francisco. Oh well.
After
graduating in 1986, Scott and John became the
featured act in the glitzy Las Vegas revue "Splash."
They moved on to "Superstars and Stripes" in Atlantic
City where they received rave reviews. This critical
acclaim led them to even greater success back
on the streets of San Francisco. Oh well.
Joe
Lake, producer of the Children's Miracle Network
Telethon, gave Scott and John their first national
television exposure. The show went so well that
Scott appeared with John (and later with Rich)
for nine straight years on CMN telethons. Eventually
the glamorous whirlwind that is telethon television
spat them out like a used Kleenex, and Scott and
Rich returned to the streets of San Francisco.
Sigh.
Scott
has never forgotten his roots as a street performer,
probably because he was constantly being reminded
of them. However, now that he has created Comedy
Industries, he has left the streets for good.
At least for now.
Résumé
Scott has entertained audiences around
the world on television, at comedy clubs, trade
shows, corporate parties, sales meetings, seminars,
fairs, and festivals. Whether working solo or
with one of his Comedy Industries' partners, Scott
has captivated audiences everywhere he has performed.
