Ready, Set, Showtime.

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Tonight and tomorrow night at 8pm and 10pm I’ll be at the brand new comedy club in Crestwood, IL called SHOWTIME. It’s a really nice place and hopefully it’ll be packed. We’ve gotta compete with the Crestwood Fest where a few members of the band ASIA are playing this weekend, but besides that, we’re golden.

I’m also at Ashbary’s Coffee House tonight AFTER Showtime at around midnight with the Hot Cup of Comedy gang, as well as tomorrow BEFORE Showtime at around 7pm. 6 shows, 2 days, lots of drinks.

Sunday night Last Loco Standing 2009 starts and I’m hosting this thing with 11 other hilarious Chicago comics competing for the title and some money. It’s every Sunday night in August at 8pm at Joe’s on Weed St. downtown.

Last night I had a show in Spring Lake Michigan at a Holiday Inn. It was a blast. Some people got some shirts which is always nice, and there were lots of drunken Michigannies slurring their speech to me before, during, and after the show.

Last thing, there’s a great show going on in Frankfort, IL on Wednesdays in August, ticket sales go to charity and they’ve got good comics up every week. I’m on there August 19th, so stop by and say hello.

Busy busy busy.

Saint Louis Missouri Was Glorious

Monday, July 27th, 2009

My show in St. Louis this past Friday was a great time. Post Sports Bar and Grill hosted, and they couldn’t have been nicer about it. My friends and I got to do free ShotBong shots all night, and I slept in my car in a grocery store parking lot. My friend Dan made sure to wake up and puke in the parking lot in the middle of the night, an action that completed a grand trip to Missouri.

Saturday I was in Oconomowoc, WI for a quick show and wooed the crowd with a few tickles. Then I went to the 4th annual Pulak Luau in beautiful Crestwood Estates. The weekend was a lot of driving and tons of fun.

I finished the first season of Breaking Bad on Sunday, which is so so good. Everyone needs to watch this show and feel better about their own lives. I can’t wait to see the 2nd season, which goddamnitly was taken off of on demand recently, and is not on DVD yet. Comcast jerks.

Busy week:  tonight, Hungry Brain and Endangered Comics @ the Zoo. Thursday, Tavern Off the Fox in Aurora, IL. Friday, Lakeshore Theater with BigDogEatChild. Saturday, Nobody Dances Here Podcast. Sunday, short set at The Spot with Josh Alton and friends.

Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha (Jason Noises)

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Here’s a clip from this past weekend working at JD’s Comedy Cafe in Milwaukee, WI.

It was a lot of fun working with William Krolowitz, Brian Aldridge, and Scott Henry. They were all a blast to work with.

I saw Coraline yesterday. It was good. It was in 3D, which I was digging but then forgot about after five minutes. I hope the 3D glasses that they let us keep will work to watch the 3D Chuck that aired last week or so.

I saw Choke, too. I thought it was terrible. Really drawn out and it went nowhere interesting.

I’m seeing Friday the 13th for Valentine’s Day. How’d I talk myself into that one?

Shit! He’s gonna get his kill on all crazy-like. Let’s hope it’s extra gory for and extra red Valentine’s Day.

I’ll be doing some video blogs now because I got an awesome new camcorder. They sort of chronicle my road shows and random happenings. I hope you enjoy this first one.
