About

I'm a senior open source database architect (in the A.I.-meets-FinTech space, of late) by day and a stand-up comic by night. If you arrived here looking for information about hiring me to manage your databases, you can find my résumé here. If that doesn't work, feel free to try this link.

As I mentioned, I am a stand-up comic, living and plying my trade in Las Vegas, Nevada. I first performed stand-up at the KillBomb Sunday Mic at Mom's Basement in Las Vegas, which led to me seeking out other venues that would allow me stage time. My new day job will likely have me traveling to San Francisco, California as part of my duties so I'll likely try to get to an open mic or two in the Bay Area when I'm there.

I am looking forward to the posibility of visiting San Francisco. I lived there for 20-plus years and it is one of my top five favorite cities in the world. I'm dying to have a a legendary "House Cappuccino", an armagnac and bourbon-spiked chocolate milk—steamed, a world famous drink at the world famous Tosca Cafe in North Beach,, where they have been made continuously (even during Prohibition) since 1919.

I have a background in improv, having graduated all three levels of training at the Las Vegas Theatre Hub and performing with the improv troupe Das Taco. I followed that up with some long-form improv classes and keeping myself involved in the community by attending "jams" at local theatre spaces.

I am a clown school drop-out. This is a point of mixed pride and shame. They did give me the red nose, though. So I've got that going for me. Maybe one day I'll let myself be photographed while wearing it.

To keep things all togeather, I practice TM™ brand TM™; two twenty minute sessions seems to be doing the trick.


Stand-Up Comedy

Below are a few clips to serve as place holders until I get enough material to add my own sets. This will, ultimately, be a collection of videos of me having questionalble succes telling jokes on stages of questionable repute. I will rotate them periodically, but you can always find more on my YouTube channel, Scott Vranesh-Fallin Comedy.
