In addition to doing Black Nerd Comedy, I also write and star in Soul and Son, a webisode/mobisode series on the Comedy Time Network (www.comedytime.tv). The weekly actor’s resource, Backstage West, did a cover story this week about actors using the Internet to create content and promote themselves, and in the section about mobile content, the series and yours truly are featured!

Here’s the specific blurb about me:

One of [Comedy Time Network's] episodic shows, Soul and Son, was created by actor André Meadows. The network recently signed Meadows to a lucrative production deal based on his show about the Funk Soul Avenger and his protégé.

“We have committed to him a certain amount of money per year to be writing for Comedy Time and developing other projects,” says David Goldman, CEO of Comedy Time. “I guess that’s the opportunity for actors is to be able to be a star in your own vehicle or just have a great meaty role that might be difficult to get in traditional television.”

If you haven’t seen the series, you can watch the first 5 episodes on ComedyTime.TV. We recently wrapped shooting episodes 6-10.

Special thanks to Comedy Time for the opportunity and thanks to Backstage West for the interesting article. If you’re an actor, you should definitely read the entire article. It has wonderful insight on how actors are using technology more and more to break out into recognizable faces, and I’m all for it!

Now maybe I can use all this recognition to get a dating show like Tila Tequila. “Nerd of Love” has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
