About Me:
As one of the funniest and most energetic performers to emerge from New York's comedy clubs and musical venues, Comedian and Singer/Songwriter Evan Wecksell is often compared to comedic superstars Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch.
Evan's act, a blend of comedy and music, celebrates dysfunctional relationships, endorses unorthodox career paths and makes fun of bad music.
Evan developed his act by studying some of New York City's best known comedians. Soon, Evan was performing alongside some of these very influences including The Tonight Show's Mitch Fatel at The Comic Strip and Last Comic Standing's Jessica Kirson at Gotham Comedy Club, to name a few. On his native Long Island, Evan developed a following hosting music nights and playing sets at Governor's Comedy Cabaret, The Downtown and Munchaba Lounge.
After performing at countless venues across New York City and Long Island, Evan was a three-time Long Island Laff-Off Finalist and went on to release his live CD, Live at the Bitter End.
In March 2005, Evan relocated to Los Angeles. The move paid off when he made his national television debut that fall on VH1's "I Love the 80s 3D" and "I Love the Holidays." His comedy songs also began receiving consistent airplay on the nationally syndicated Dr. Demento Radio Show as well as other terrestrial and internet radio outlets.
As Evan's television appearances grew so did his performance schedule. Last year Evan performed over 175 shows touring clubs, colleges and radio stations across the country.
In January 2006, Evan released his limited edition single Brokeback Mountain, a song that received national airplay leading up to the Academy Awards. A few months later Evan returned to television by appearing on VH1's "I Love Toys."
This past summer Evan offered commentary on VH1's "I Love the 70s II" and E! Television's "Forbes Celebrity 100: Who Made Bank."
Evan performs over 100 shows every year and consistently tours clubs and colleges across the country. For more information on Evan and to purchase his CDs, visit www.EvanWecksell.com.

BTW GO YANKS!!!!!
i wish i could sing and play guitar at the same time
he''l pass barry's 756*
put me on ur friends list
i love the yanks
by the way, nice a-rod song
"Gumnaam" is a home made Scary movie and is based on an old bollywood horror movie "Gumnaam" 1965 in which a spirit keeps searching for her murderer.There is no such story or drama in this video but it's fun watching it. The background song is in hindi so if you don't understand what it means, kindly adjust.
The thundering and lightning effects are absolutely original and no as such software effects. me and my friend Nannu captured a few shots of lightning last week, it's mansoon time in India, so we were lucky to get such scary shots this time.
Overall a nice video to watch, and my first such a kind of movie specially dedicated to YouTube and it's members.
I wish this video gets featured on YouTube, that's the only way YouTube can appreciate my work and encourage me to make more such movies, even better.
I was watching a friends channel and landed up on yours.I must say you have unique videos, hey am actually looking for some nice friends on youtube.It would be great if you add me to your buddy list.
