Appleton and a DVD Taping

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

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.

Up to the Dates

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.

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.

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:

Last Loco Contest Promo

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.
