Here’s my new clip for the “Open Mic Challenge 3″ Jokes.com contest.

I’m performing at Watra on 48th and Pulaski this Friday at 9pm and possibly another place downtown on Friday, too. Sunday I’m hosting the 3rd round of Last Loco Standing, where some hilarious comics are left competing for $500. It starts at 8pm, so come see Joe Red, Lucky Luciano, Chris Paladino, Miguel “Big Mig” Mancha, Jody Serafin, and Martin Gollogly do the funny.

Finally, here’s a picture of the Cobra Commander action figure I bought from the new GI JOE movie. The movie was amazing:  crazy action, ridiculous storylines and plot twists, and nonstop cheese.  Pretty much everything I incorporated into playing with my GI JOEs when I was 7. Or 15. It was one age or the other. Maybe it’s 23 since I just bought this toy.

Hey! I’m featured on Comedy Central’s Jokes.com in an Open Mic Challenge they’ve got going on.

Some of the network’s favorite picks of the contest will be aired this weekend on Comedy Central during the 4th of July festivities they are broadcasting. So watch that channel this weekend and let me know if I’m on it! I’ll be in Chatanooga, TN visiting my brother. Have a great 4th.

I’ve been putting on some shows at a place called Fox’s Pub in Mokena, IL lately and they’ve been a ton of fun. The turnouts are pretty good, the staff and management are friendly and welcoming, and the experience couldn’t be better. I’ve gotten in a great handful of comics so far and am continuing to do so. I’ve been hosting all the shows along with these great fellas.

I know, I know. Lot’s of dudes. But in coming shows, we’ll be seeing some very talented ladies hopefully gracing the stage. And by stage, I mean the tiled same level section at the front of the dining section of Fox’s. I’m booking shows for the 23rd and 30th now, so I’ll fill those in soon.

Here’s a picture of Joey Villagomez rocking Fox’s:

Along with the success of the comedy nights, they’ve asked me to put on a variety show of sorts on Saturday nights. I call it the Friends of Fox’s Variety Show because I am a very lazy namethinker. It’s also a contest for the performers, with the best voted act receiving $100 cash. We did the first one this past Saturday, and it went very well. Here was the lineup:

Variety Show #1-01.03.09.
Lounge Singer Johnny Chicago
Comedian Ken Orr
Beatboxer Kwake
Comedian Sean Harrigan
Magician James Maddex

I’ll have clips of these guys and also some clips of the comics up on the Funny at Fox’s Youtube Page sometime soon.

We’ll be doing two more of these on the 24th and 30th of January, the day after each standup show, so be sure to check those out.

It was a busy weekend, and I’m back at work, but I’ve got the new comic you can check out daily (today, E is for Eskimo) and soon I’ll have a web series to watch weekly. It might be funny. Here’s hoping in ‘09.

Hey I’m in the finals of this awesome comedy contest put on by Mikey O Comedy on the Southside of Chicago. It’s called Last Loco Standing, and it’s down to three comics, including myself. Here’s the flyer:

It’s based on audience voting, and if I win, I get $500! Please please please come out and vote for me, it’s completely free, and it’s going to be very funny. The other two comics, Ryan Andrews and Pat Chase, are hilarious. all the address info and stuff is above on the flyer. It says $8 cover, but they waived that for the championship round. Bring friends and family if you can!

I’m in Wisconsin this Saturday night. That should be interesting. I’ll be sure to take some cheesy pictures while I’m up there. Get it? Because they have cheese there. That joke will not be featured in the contest on Friday.
