About Kirk Wilcox...

Kirk Wilcox is a comedian, writer, and overall, passionate humorist.

Backin 2003, Kirk Wilcox made two websites. One of them was a knockoff of "The Best Page in the Universe", where Kirk wrote and posted several of his own rants which somewhat resembled Maddox. Kirk got some praise, but also a ton of criticism for being a Maddox want-to-be.

The other website Kirk created was JesusIsHitler.com. He co-created it with David Beisiegel. The website it still alive, however does not have the same domain name. It can be viewed here.

JIH received tons of attention, gaining hundreds of thousands of hits in less than a year. However, due to financial reasons, Kirk and his partner were unable to fund the website. JIH is now funded and hosted by a devout fan.


Eventually, Kirk got unmotivated with updating his Maddox knock-off, and let his personal website go to the graveyard.

It was not until Kirk went to college where he began writing for fun again. He was able to do this for free using Facebook, as Kirk would use the Notes application to publish his thoughts.

At first, Kirk just did it for fun, and mainly wrote Facebook notes for his friends. Somehow, his notes got surprisingly popular. Thus Kirk got the drive to re-launch his own website.


FAQ

Your stand-up is funny. When are you available for performances?

E-mail me and put something along the lines of "BOOKING" or "STAND-UP" in ALL CAPS in the subject line. From there, we can discuss dates, fees, and the rest.

What's the story with Prophet Pals and the Party Animal?

I had the idea for the first episode of "Prophet Pals" one day in class. I only intended it to be a one time thing, but then people seemed to like it, so I decided to keep it going.

The "Party Animal" came from when my friend took a picture of me in my underwear and sunglasses my freshman year at college, and wanted to use it to make flyers that said "You Want to Have the BEST PARTY EVER! CALL THE PARTY ANIMAL!". After the fun I was having with "Prophet Pals", I thought it would be fun use the "Party Animal" character to start another comic.

You're copying off of Maddox! How dare you!

Yes, yes, I know. When I had my first Maddox "ripoff", most of my hate mail came from obsessed Maddox fans who had nothing better to do with their lives but send me hate mail. Apparently if someone has a brilliant idea and starts something great, nobody else is allowed to do it.
Besides, rants is only part of my website. I also created comics and do stand-up. So by that token, I guess I'm also a ripoff of Perry Bible Fellowship, Electric Retard, and Daniel Tosh.
Furthermore, I have the upmost respect and admiration for Maddox, and would never try to copy any of his ideas for content. I'm just using the same tools.

What religion are you?

I am going to obstain from giving this information. I may, however, mention it in a future post without knowing it. I do not believe in trying to change who people are, and I think people should decide what they believe for themselves.

How old are you?

I am currently 23 years old.

What is your goal in life?

I do not have any specific goal or agenda. I want to do what will make me happy the most. Hopefully, it will be in the entertainment industry, because I am the textbook definition of an attention whore. If I can get paid for writing scripts, writing for a television show, magazine, doing a radio show, or performing stand-up comedy, I think I will be fine.

In fact, part of the reason why I started my website to display how creative I can be. I think a lot of people who try to break into comedy just go for one thing and hope it works. Some people just do stand-up, some people just write, some people just make comics, some people just do radio. I try to do all of them, because one joke or idea that may not work in my stand-up might translate better in a comic or a note. It's sort of like what Demitri Martin does with his notepad sketches. When I have an idea that does not work in one area, I don't want to just give up on it. Maybe it just needs to be used in a different way.

You should write a joke/note/comic about this topic

No. To be honest, there is nothing more annoying and disrespecting than when someone suggests an idea for my stand-up or website. I do appreciate the ideas, but I have my own ideas.
Furthermore, if you want to see a topic covered so badly, do it yourself. I encourage anybody who wants their voice to be heard to start talking. Express yourself.

Who are your biggest influences, mentors, and idols?
