From June 28th through 30th, I was in New York City, checking out the Del Close Marathon put on by the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. Though I didn’t feel like waiting in line at the main UCB Theatre, I spend 10-ish hours watching improv at 3 of the 7 total stages: UCB East, Theater 80,… Continue reading Dog murder and other made up things

Super Soaker?
I am not a child nor do I have children, so my sense of what makes a commercial for kids’ toys these days is skewed. My only reference for this is old Crossfire ads which are undoubtedly an inseparable part of any person’s brain who is around my age. The other day, this changed, as… Continue reading Super Soaker?
It’s Aromando, say it right
My last name is spelled A-R-O-M-A-N-D-O. It is pronounced like ah-roh-mahn-doh or maybe it’s are-o-mon-doe.* People have an unbelievably hard time knowing how to spell or pronounce “Aromando” even though, for the most part, it’s pretty phonetic.

It’s a song I generally only hear in bars/clubs and I rarely know what names of those songs are… Continue reading What did you say? Nevermind.

I’m a hug fan of the festival, they always put on a bunch of really good shows, host a bunch of workshops, and just bring in a whole bunch of talent from all over the place.… Continue reading The Women In Comedy Festival
One comedy album for life
Today I tackled the question of: “If you could only listen to the comedy albums of one stand-up, who would that be and why? Who make the cut of your top three before you have to choose the #1?” The answer is over at my Tumblr, Q&A with Matt Aromando. Check it out and be… Continue reading One comedy album for life
America says, “shove it England,” again
The phrase, “the book was better,” is one of the most annoying things a person can say about a movie. An apple is not an orange and a movie is not a book. Most of the time I wonder if a person actually likes the book better or if a) they feel obligated to say… Continue reading America says, “shove it England,” again
