			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been putting on some shows at a place called <a href="http://www.foxsonwolf.com">Fox&#8217;s Pub in Mokena, IL</a> lately and they&#8217;ve been a ton of fun. The turnouts are pretty good, the staff and management are friendly and welcoming, and the experience couldn&#8217;t be better. I&#8217;ve gotten in a great handful of comics so far and am continuing to do so. I&#8217;ve been hosting all the shows along with these great fellas.</p>

<p>I know, I know. Lot&#8217;s of dudes. But in coming shows, we&#8217;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&#8217;s. I&#8217;m booking shows for the 23rd and 30th now, so I&#8217;ll fill those in soon.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of Joey Villagomez rocking Fox&#8217;s:</p>

<p>Along with the success of the comedy nights, they&#8217;ve asked me to put on a variety show of sorts on Saturday nights. I call it the Friends of Fox&#8217;s Variety Show because I am a very lazy namethinker. It&#8217;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:</p>
<p>Variety Show #1-01.03.09.<br />
Lounge Singer <a href="http://www.myspace.com/johnnychicago1">Johnny Chicago</a><br />
Comedian <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kenorrcomedy">Ken Orr</a><br />
Beatboxer <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thehumanghettoblaster">Kwake</a><br />
Comedian <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&amp;friendID=65735143">Sean Harrigan</a><br />
Magician <a href="http://www.magitainment.com/">James Maddex</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll have clips of these guys and also some clips of the comics up on the <a href="http://youtube.com/funnyatfoxs">Funny at Fox&#8217;s Youtube Page</a> sometime soon.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be doing two more of these on the 24th and 30th of January, the day after each standup show, so be sure to <a href="http://www.ryanbudds.com/shows">check those out</a>.</p>
<p>It was a busy weekend, and I&#8217;m back at work, but I&#8217;ve got the <a href="http://www.ryanbudds.com/comics">new comic</a> you can check out daily (today, E is for Eskimo) and soon I&#8217;ll have a web series to watch weekly. It might be funny. Here&#8217;s hoping in &#8216;09.</p>
