26 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday October 1, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Comedian looking to focus on writing Guitar heroes Continued from page 25 Raitt said he's thrilled to be working in comedy full-time, with many more goals ahead. "Anyone who works in comedy would love to be paid well," he said. "We all have that dream of something that hits really big and be able to be financially independent because of it. Overall, my ambitions are really to have a situation where I could be regularly writing and creating things. I'd love to have a job continuously creating new stuff and having it put out there, so my ultimate dream would be to work as a writer on a sitcom or work as a playwright in residence. I don't seek fame as much as I seek the ability to be working." For information on David Raitt and his upcoming performances, visit his website at www.davidraitt.com.
