An Open Letter to Comedy by A Comedian

Read this piece I wrote for The Steamroller that addresses just about any hot topic in comedy today (censorship, discrimination, hate speech, etc).  I think you’ll come away with a new perspective.

Here’s some footage from a couple years ago that I just edited over the weekend for The Late Live Show.  We thought the video was lost, then we found it, then I thought it sucked so I didn’t want to look at it.  All in all, I think it turned out OK.  It’s from a porn convention called Exxxotica Expo.  I talk to some pornography actors, and do dumb things.

There’s a great show in Chicago run by two friends Monte LaMonte and Michael Sanchez called I Shit You Not.  It’s a storytelling show where performers talk about times they’ve shit themselves.  Here’s a clip where I talk about shitting myself.

So, I do the podcast Revolutions Per Minute with my friend Nick Rouley.  We listen to and talk about music.  If you like it, you can follow the tumblr for the show at rpmpod.tumblr.com or subscribe on iTunes.  If you really like it, you can check out this video where we promote a new podcasting/comedy content website we’re joining.  They are currently raising funds to be able to produce material for people.  I’m a fan of everyone involved with the company, and am excited to be working with them.  Check out indiegogo.com/nicestguys to get more info on their network called, The Nicest Guys In Town.  If you’re into the idea, feel free to donate to the cause.

This very fun show, IMBG, is returning to Schuba’s Upstairs Lounge on Thursday February 7th.  This is a game show I host where we watch a truly shitty movie with a panel of hand picked comics (This lineup features Bill Cruz, Liza Treyger, and Joe Fernandez).  Everyone makes fun of the movie, and prizes are won.  It’s sponsored by saki records, so we’ll be giving away records and gift certificates to their store.  Show starts at 8.
The poster for this show was made by the incredible Tim Giuliani.

The Late Live Show Christmas Special is tonight at the Strawdog Theater.  This show is the one thing I’ve been doing in comedy that has lasted the longest and consistently produces the highest quality material.  I work on it with a handful of the funniest writers in the city, and nothing makes me more proud than seeing one of these shows go well.

A couple weeks ago Hurricane Sandy completely destroyed the home of my aunt, uncle and two cousins.  There’s a picture of what it did to their place up there.  I’m putting on a benefit show to help raise some money for them on November 16th at saki recordssaki is kind of my comedy home lately, and the people there have been incredible with helping me out, and they are really good at putting on fun shows.

If you can make it to the show, it would mean a lot, but if you can’t and still want to contribute, I’ve added a donate button to the top left of the page here.  100% of any money received will go to my family for the purpose of helping them get back on their feet.  Feel free to donate what you can, any amount is a massive help right now.
