Yes, there's also a comedian on the West Coast and a television writer. I once received an invite to a private party from Eddie Murphy via email. If I'd been on the West Coast, I'd have been tempted to go. I could see it now:
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing at my party?"
"I'm Tom Sharpe. You invited me. Don't you remember? I thought you invited me because we share the same birthday."
I've always assumed that my name got on that list because my niece was doing stand-up in California at the time, and many of the emails I received from her had been also CCed to several of her fellow comedians, and I got mixed up somehow with Tom Sharpe the comedian.
Oh, and my close friend Eddie and I do share the same birthday. Along with Doris Day and a few million others.
