Rick Murphy was born on the mean streets of Massachusetts on a cold October evening many many days ago. Don't ask which streets,trust him they were mean. He began his comedy career in junior high when he discovered the equation (funny=ladies). Many suspensions and innumerable after school detentions later, he's still doing it for the female race. He's studied at the Upright Citizens Brigade,The PIT and at the famed Boomerang Comedy Club in Haiti. He was also a member of the internationally known improv troupe ESTO. He likes to audition(and occasionally star in) commercials and films and was upset when his agent "made" him shave his mustache. Think Tom Selleck circa 1982 minus the tight Magnum P.I. shorts. It worked.

His heroes include Bill Murray,Owen Wilson,Sean Penn(Very funny), and Erik Estrada. His favorite color is green and he loves eating chicken,in any form, baked, fried, grilled, boiled, shredded, just give him some chicken. He lives on Avenue C with his handsome feline companion Hendrix and a spotted owl named Raoul. If you want to know more approach him after a show and offer him some chicken and a green T-shirt.
