0 to 10.... Born a "war baby" in 1941, WIGGINS learned to talk funny and
began his career performing a "Singing & Dancing Cowboy Act" on the bar
tops in his Chicago neighborhood saloons, thereby
earning "beer money" for his Grandpa, who became WIGGINS very
first agent in Show Business.
11 to 20... Growing into the role of 'juvenile delinquent' WIGGINS
attended Public, Lutheren, Methodist, Jewish and Catholic Schools,
learning just enough larceny to get him sent to the Illinois State
Reformatory where WIGGINS practiced defending himself from
hecklers,,, Very Big Hecklers.

Suburbanite' raising five kids and many plants, plus studying acting at
Chicago's Goodman Theatre, eventually landing a role in the movie, Cooley
High, playing a "White Trick."

Hollywood and became a stand up comic including appearances on the Mike
Douglas Show, the Toni Tennile Show, as well as writing comedy material
for George Carlin, Chuck Barris and David Letterman. Mitzi and Bud hated
WIGGINS.

performing in saloons and comedy clubs, slowly gathering a loyal following
for his comedy character,
