Jake Alvarez
M. Jacob Alvarez is a 26-year-old Cartoonist/Process Engineer/Comedian. He was born and raised in Baltimore City but currently resides in the grand and overshadowed metropolis of Philadelphia. As close as he can tell he lost his dignity somewhere near Newark, Delaware. Jake has been drawing underground comics for over a decade. [See also Philly Comix Jam] Upon moving to Philadelphia in 2007 he enrolled in PHIT (Philadelphia Improv Theater) classes to get a different perspective on comedy and fill the time he previously spent wondering where his life went wrong. Under the tutelage of several Philadelphia improv luminaries, Jake soon learned the pleasure to be had by screaming like a lunatic. Just kidding. He's known that forever. Improvisational comedy did offer the possibility of screaming in front of people — without the hassle of a lengthy police chase afterwards. Rightly assuming that no established group would put up with his villainous shenanigans, Jake boldly set out to recruit a group of like-minded people of low moral fiber to perform comedy with. They were called Hitch*Cock*Block! After reaching a high point of practicing three times with a different cast at every practice, they dissolved without performing a show. Having learned the valuable lesson not to give a new group a name offensive to just about everyone before you recruit any members, Jake resolved to try again. In early 2009, after a lengthy screening process involving harsh interrogation methods and shameless begging, a new crop of aspiring comedians began to practice in Jake's disheveled railroad apartment. They would come to be known as Rookie Card and their story is only beginning. |
