Various Happenstances of Seth

    In the early 2000s, the best place to find details about my life was my old hand-coded blog on my college website, which has now been deleted. From 2005-2007, I hand-coded my blog updates right here on RisingPun.com: Blog. Nowadays, I'm too lazy to hand-code everything (although I am hand-coding this message!), so you can read my current WordPress-powered blog on this site by clicking the giant "The Rising Pun" header at the top of the page.

What Seth Brown is saying about Seth Brown

    I am a freelance humorist specializing in writing, and a freelance writer specializing in humor. I have written columns for the Providence Journal, Williams Record, Berkshire Advocate, North Adams Transcript, and currently the Berkshire Eagle. I used to appear frequently in the Washington Post's Style Invitational, and write reviews for places like the Berkshire Eagle and USA Today. I am a stand-up comic, a slam poet, an occasional rapper, and the author of six books under my own name (as well as many more ghostwritten for other people).

    I inhale and exhale humor, unwilling and perhaps unable to live without it. I am a wordsmith, bending language to my will, oft in service of the aforementioned humor goal. I enjoy eating and gaming with friends. I am fluent in Pig Latin and know how to say "Your dog is in the microwave" in five languages. I gave up piano for the kazoo, and formed a classical kazoo quintet which gave a command performance of Pachelbel's Canon. I have an unnatural fondness for fondue, a bottomless gluttony for gaming, and an insatiable penchant for punnery. I, unlike Bob Dole, don't mind writing in the first person occasionally.
