I was just in Appleton, WI this past weekend at the Skyline Comedy Cafe with two hilarious guys, Cy Amundson and Chad Daniels. We laughed, we drank, we played Wiffle Ball. That’s a good weekend.

The weekend shows were taped for Rooftop Comedy, so I should have a few clips up on there sometime soon.  Also, I had the best Mac and Cheese Pizza ever in Appleton at Sal’s Pizza. You win again, cheese state.

This week/weekend, I’m at Western Illinois University on Wednesday and then Giggles in Brookfield Thursday-Saturday. Looking forward to heading back to Macomb, IL and the old college grounds in the Fall, that’ll be great. I’ll post some new videos (and maybe a new web series?) sometime soon from these eventful two weeks.

Finally, I’m taping this DVD I’ve been blabbing about for some time! The date is October 21st at the fantastic LOL Theater in Schaumburg, IL on the Streets of Woodfield. It don’t get much rougher than the mean Streets of Woodfield. There’s a Legoland AND a Starbucks. Watch your ass in da streets.

But yeah, the show is at 8pm and it’s $10 or $15 and you get two drink tickets. Anthony Sarfino and I will be doing around 40 minutes each. I’ll hopefully have the DVDs within a month after the taping for sale after shows and on the website.

Oh and I ordered a new batch of t-shirts. I’ll have them tomorrow, same shirt, but darker/royal blue and I took my website off. No one reads a shirt and goes to the website right? Unless you just did and now you’re hear. In that case, I’d feel like and idiot.

Lots of news and things. This weekend, I”m featuring in Madison, WI with my good buddy Frank Roche. We had the college night show with some great Chicago guests last night, it was a blast. I’ll be there tonight and tomorrow, having fun trying all kinds of crazy pizza slices from Ian’s on State Street. Last night, Ashlee and I were slayed by a Mac and Cheese/Chilli Cheese Frito Pizza combo. Twas a delight.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with two awesome comics, Bobcat Goldthwait and Christopher Titus. They both were real gents and gave me some great advice. The Improv is such a fun place to work, I want to work them all.

We’re finalizing the date for the DVD taping, it looks like it’s gonna be Oct. 21st, which is a Wednesday. Trying to come up with a title, some ideas for extra stuff for the DVD, and cool ways to promote the show.

I’m also working on producing a new show with my good friends Pablo Rodriguez and Pat Chase. The show is called Cheapshots and it’s going to be at Murphy’s Pub in Forest Park, IL. It’ll be a monthly showcase at an awesome place with a lot of great comics involved.  Stay tuned.

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.

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.

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.

Hey, since I’m taping a half hour DVD on July 11th with my good friend Anthony Sarfino, we’re practicing our longer sets frequently in the months leading up to it at places like Cigars and Stripes in Berwyn, IL.

We’ll be making some special features for the DVDs along the way, and we’ll have the discs for sale probably towards the end of the summer. It sucks talking about the end of the summer when it’s not even here yet, but gotta think ahead!

Tonight I’ve got some standup in Country Club Hills, IL at Pros Sports Bar and Grill.

Tomorrow night I’m at the Charly Horse in New Lenox, IL doing some comedy right off of Route 30.

Next Tuesday I’m doing my friend Joe Anderson’s radio show “Haters to the Left” for DePaul University downtown. That’ll be a blast from 9pm-Midnight.

My calendar is pretty full for the summer and fall, and I’ve got weddings in Springfield, IL, Boston, MA, and San Francisco, CA to go to every summer month. Busy busy busy.

Come see a show or two!

Tonight is the first show of a new monthly show I’m running at a pizza joint called Barraco’s in Orland Park, IL. Here’s the flyer for the show. It’s gonna be sweet, come check it out if you can!

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.

This Saturday I’ll be getting my ass kicked on the streets of Chicago.

Not for real though! Silly!

I’m filming a web series that I mentioned before this weekend and my character steals this other character’s underwear and then gets beat up for it. How inticing does that sound? You can’t wait to watch it, can you? I don’t want to talk about the idea of being typcast for this character, for that would mean the director found my audition so believable that he actualy imagined me having a background of stealing underwear. Yikes.

So that’s going on this Saturday. This Friday night, however, I’m in the 2nd round of Mikey-O’s Last Loco Standing Comedy Contest at the Watra Nightclub on the Southside of Chicago at 47th and Pulaski. It was a blast last Friday and I moved on and it’s down to 6 very funny comics. Voting is based on audience ballots, so come out and vote for me this Friday (and hopefully several more Fridays in September if I keep moving on.)

Tonight, I have a show at The Spot at 4437 N. Broadway. It starts at 8pm and is totally free. My friend Josh Alton set it up, so it will be a great show.

I know this list is completely out of order, but I also have a show at the wonderfully rustic Cigars and Stripes on Saturday night at 10pm. This one is $5 and is with my good friends Brian Dejka and Dan Brennan. So come see that. Here’s a wacky picture of those two comics and the owner of Cigars and Stripes, Ronnie Lottz.

In conclusion, check my shows page for the right order of these awesome shows. Also check out and keep checking out my videos section, where I’ve put up some new vids and will continute to be putting up some new vids. Oh and pictures. I’ve got some new pictures here and there. All of these links are at the top of the website too under my banner. I don’t know why I’m putting them here, too. I’m an overdoer. Ladies, you heard that right.
