My blog posts are usually, reasonably, planned out. The least planning I do is whenever I just post a photo and make fun of it for a few sentences, but even then I have to go find a photo that is worth talking about. Longer posts where I just write and write, tend to fester… Continue reading A Piece of the Process

Hack Comedy
In stand-up comedy, I strive to be as original as I can be. I’m not sure if anyone would admit to being unoriginal. Even Nickelback probably thinks they’re original at what they do, but I’ll take Modest Mouse or Brand New over them any day. Same as I’d rather listen to David Cross or Patton… Continue reading Hack Comedy
Everything’s the Best
Back in June, I was at Mottley’s Comedy Club to see Josh Gondelman. The purpose of this show was to record his first album, Everything’s The Best! which comes out today through Rooftop Comedy. I can say, first hand, that this show was awesome. So awesome that I bought the album so I could listen to… Continue reading Everything’s the Best
NYC Trip: Day 2 & 3
Monday was my first day of improv classes and they went much better than expected. The whole class was really into it, excited, and funny.

The only open mic I researched at all ahead of time was a Sunday night one and I spent… Continue reading NYC Trip: Day 1
The Comedy Studio Debut (a postmortem)
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)
