Brian Haley spotted

That’s Brian Haley on the left, with the Female Half of the Staff on the right,. They shared the bill at the Comedy Works in Bristol (PHL), PA, this past weekend.

Haley is getting back on the standup horse after years of being solely an actor. He’s relocated to the NY area and is determined to get the ol’ headline set sharpened up. He’s been doing small- to medium-sized clubs on this side of the country, flying under the radar (at least until he works with the editor and publisher of the WWW’s most beloved magazine about standup).

Haley, readers may recall, was a white-hot standup in the boom years (four Tonight Show appearances (with Johnny!), roles in high-profile movies, guest shots on sitcoms), who left standup for acting. He’s back on the standup stage now– part of a trend, it seems! Standup comics who left the actual standup for other ventures– writing, acting, what-have-you– who are back to their first love.

Hop on to his myspace and request his friendship– he’s only been on a few days and he only has three friens– one of whom is “Tom!”
