SAN DIEGO -- Ian Harvie was a little nervous as he sat in the "green room" at Martinis Above Fourth last night, in advance of his headlining performance as part of the monthly Laugh Out Proud.

But according to the 43-year old trans man, nerves are good.

"If I didn't get nervous I'd think that something is wrong, like I wasn't in it anymore," he told San Diego Gay & Lesbian News. "[That feeling] makes you commit to your art.

PORTLAND, Maine -- Back in January 2002, Ian Harvie had never considered comedy as a career option.

Then one day, something very serendipitous happened … it was something so random, but so significant, it would change his life in many ways.

Harvie got a postcard in the mail from a man named Tim Ferrell, advertising a local comedy writing workshop. He's not sure how Ferrell got his name or address, but after kicking the idea around a little while, he decided to take the class.

"Tim Ferrell brought me to the dance," Harvie told San Diego Gay & Lesbian News.

Unless you have been living under a rock lately, you've seen publicity about Chaz Bono's gender transition - lots of it.
