Moved to Spring Valley, NY in 1967, where he spent most of his formative years. During his pre-adolescent, he learned he had an ear for music. His father, grandmother and aunt all sang at family functions. Stu would listen to them sing and attempt to accompany them on his grandmothers' upright piano in Brooklyn,NY. As a young child, he would entertain his parents friends by imitating TV characters. With his older sister, Marla, he would read the phone book imitating Chevy Chase as a news anchor. In Junior High, a friend who played guitar, taught Stu how to play bass guitar, and they would play in a short lived band. During his high school ,on a lark, he performed stand up comedy for his first time, when an emcee asked if anyone wanted to come up. Always doing impressions, Sly Stallone, Kermit The Frog, Ronald Reagan, Tony Danza, he got up and did an impression of Kermit The Frog on acid, and got his first laughs. Stu got the bug to perform onstage from that point forward. At 22, he took a cross country road trip with two friends to Los Angeles to chase his dream of acting. He worked for Circuit City in Los Angeles to pay the bills, and studied acting for commercials. Performed Standup at the Kosmic Cafe in Hollywood. Lived in Malibu for a while in a geodesic dome with three other friends from NY, one of whom was his JR high pal who taught him bass guitar.
