Since I’ve been doing stand-up almost as long as we’ve been together, the wife has seen more than her fair share of comedians. As you might expect, she’s a bit jaded. Someone who always manages to brighten her day is the highly original Maria Bamford. Her act is part stand-up, part one-woman show, and part multiple-personality disorder. She’s the comedy co-chair of the long-running show What’s Up, Tiger Lily.
This Monday, in honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I will be intergrating the fuck out of Tiger Lily. If you have no money, but a desire to see a kick-ass comedy show with real life teevee personalities like the aformentioned Ms. Bamford and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24, Little Miss Sunshine) come on down and let’s pour some out for the brother who isn’t here.
Despite the reaction of the gentlemen in the lower left, I had a good set. It was damn near 2 AM by the time I got on stage. That guy looks like he’s ready for bed.
I’ve done The Tomorrow Show a few times. Always a hip crowd. Always a fun show. This line-up for 5 bones is a can’t miss. I’ll be in Vegas celebrating our friends David and Lilliam’s 10-year anniversary, but they’re pretty damn funny too.
Watching the women’s 20K race walking during the Olympics reminded me of Franklyn’s bit about "taking last at the Olympics." Thank the flying spaghetti monster for YouTube.
Friend and fellow comic Jasper Redd has thrown his hat into the mixtape ring. A while back, he beamed this one into my inbox. You can download or stream Welcome to Mercury: The Prequelhere. I’ve been the recipient of Reddbone’s musical generosity on many occasions. I can promise that you will not be disappointed.
