Last night I made my debut at The Comedy Studio. It went great and I was happy to see all kinds of people there for me. The crowd was really hot and I think really enjoyed my set, I even have a new slogan thanks to one audience member: “so stupid.” Well, to date I… Continue reading The Comedy Studio Debut (a postmortem)

One Year In (Stand-up Comedy)
Today marks my 1-year anniversary of being a stand-up comedian. Not that I needed it, but Facebook even helped remind me by posting an “On This Day In 2010” status for me. It was in Worcester at the now defunct Orlando’s Comedy Jam. I was there to record Ryan Staples‘ set so he could submit… Continue reading One Year In (Stand-up Comedy)
The Comedy Studio Debut
On August 31st, I will be making my debut at The Comedy Studio.

He’s very funny, and get this, a nice guy too. The… Continue reading The Boston Phoenix’s Best Comedian 2011
A Rejection Letter
Every industry has its politics, lingo, red tape, etc. and stand-up comedy is no different. I’m not a fan of that kind of stuff but to some extent I have to “play the game.” So I won’t mention the club’s name, but I received an e-mail the other day from comedy club informing me they… Continue reading A Rejection Letter
First Time at Grandma’s Basement
I’ve been to many of the venues for open mics in (and around) Boston, but I feel like every time I do a show I hear of at least one place I haven’t been yet. About a month ago I was recommended to try out Grandma’s Basement inside the Hong Kong Cafe on Boylston St.… Continue reading First Time at Grandma’s Basement
