About
Adrian dressed in customary garb.
Adrian Colesberry has a degree in biomedical engineering and spent ten years managing manufacturing operations in the pharmaceutical industry. He never, with his apologies, manufactured anything that could make a penis harder or bigger or more splendiferous. For most of that time, he made antihemophiliac factor, until…
One February, Adrian left both his dismal marriage and his career in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and found humbler employment as a background extra in film and TV. (Adrian highly recommends extra work for reducing your karmic load. The most ambitious monk would be challenged to do less in one day than an extra.)
Ostensibly, Adrian quit to pursue stand-up comedy full-time—he’d been performing in LA clubs after work hours for the past five years, efforts that landed him on NBC’s Late Friday. But after his quitting / divorcing binge, he turned his energies instead to writing, specifically to writing the dirty, dirty, funny How to Make Love to Adrian Colesberry, by Adrian Colesberry.
Much of the book was written on a Palm Pilot* standing around between takes on such fine films as Aviator and Spiderman 2, and on celebrated TV shows like Boston Legal, ER, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Entourage in which his back and torso and face have appeared for countable fractions of a second.
An excerpt from an early version of his book was published on Nerve.com. Not his first time out of the gates as a writer, in 1994, he wrote the award-winning Costa Rica: the Last Country the Gods Made.
*Specifically, it was written on an IBM Workpad C3, which was just a repackaged Palm Vx. If you appreciate this clarification, you are at least as much of a geek as Adrian Colesberry.
