Looking through some of my old pictures today I happened upon my Bricks Pics. Man, I loved playing in this band. No fighting, great songs, plenty of mistakes and just tons of fun.
I miss all you guys and hope you’re doing well1. And if you ever want to do it again? I’m in.
Check us out baby!

Well, it went better than I expected. The problems were the following:
1) I didn’t really work too hard on crafting exactly what to say. I had basic ideas and simply made up a lot of stuff. I think had I worked much harder on what to say precisely, it would’ve been a million times better. Go figure.
2) Timing was a tad off on some jokes and I was a tad quiet on some - again, probably because I hadn’t scripted much of what I said.
3) Most of the audience at this point had left - I was one of the last 4-5 comics to go, so all the comics that go early essentially just leave immediately after they’re done. This means the audience wasn’t hugely diverse - lots of girls at this point and girls often don’t find me terribly funny.
Here it is if you want to hear it.
It’s a little low to be heard on regular speakers, so you might want to pop some headphones in to check it out - otherwise you could miss something hilarious! (read: awkward.)
Alright, so a while back I told you all to be watching the blog for something new that I will be doing. You’ve also probably noticed I stopped posting so much even though you could not fathom how I couldn’t possibly come up with some random, ridiculous junk to talk about. I figure I will spill the beans now since the can of beans is over-flowing and my intake of legumes this week is making me freak out every time I think about ANY kind of bean…including the kind made of jelly or L.L. Cool J’s dad - L.L. Bean.
Anyway, tonight I make my debut at stand-up comedy. I’ve been writing since about June or July (hence the thin blog material) and, well, hopefully someone else thinks I’m funny too.
Naturally it’s an open mic so no doubt it will be rough and there’ll be lots and lots of uncomfortable silence - but lucky you, I’ll be posting the mp3’s of any sets I do on here so you have your choice of either laughing at me or laughing at me. No, that isn’t a typo, and, surprisingly, was the only way that sentence made sense(tence).
Props beforehand to Brewer, the man with whom most people think I share a brain, for helping me do some editing.
I promise nothing as there is a butt-load of stuff I need to work out and revise, and as I’ve never done this before. Anyway, wish me luck. Maybe one day I will post where I’ll be so you can come and see how tight my butt is in real life (stalker).
