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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
