Q:Who is poor and eats lobster every day?
A:The state of Maine

In its struggle for funds, the US state of Maine wants to start charging tax on services including a juggler tax. Cold. It just sounds like (more…)

Looking Back…
While everyone’s excited about the new year and the coming top animals (I have some of my own speculations), I thought we should take a moment to slow down and appreciate what animals were great in 2009. If you have an animal that you wish would have been in the list, please leave a comment.

Top Animal #9: parakeet

In retrospect, it’s (more…)

Juggling is a really good exercise for life. It has a lot of the fun parts of a soul sport (working to better yourself, non-competitive activity, etc.) but isn’t dangerous — unless you’re juggling fire or pancakes or something. That’s why I want everyone to learn. I’m offering juggling classes in Hollywood (free for your first class) and an inexpensive (and most helpful) DVD because I want the world to juggle.

I’m sure juggling’s not a cure-all like alcohol, but it does a great job with the following 8 thingies: (more…)

The California State Fair is a lot like a Clint Eastwood movie. People are squinting, there’s dehydration, and hangings are eminent.

I was performing there 3 or 4 shows per day every day in my friend Frank Olivier’s Show as well as 1 time per day in the demo kitchen area (where chefs are showing the public the obsolete activity of cooking). 62 Frank Shows + 18 kitchen shows = 80 shows in 18 days.

The Good
The shows in the demo kitchen were great. I was introduced by (more…)

I’ve gotta be able to think of something. Posting something on this blog about comedy or something. here it is…  I’m going to write about LA comedy life and spike it with some jokes so it’s more fun to read.

I saw shamu giving birth to a baby whale when I was a kid at sea world.  I thought this was a beautiful thing and a sign that they were treating the whales really well.  Then, I saw the show with freakin’ flaming hoop jumping and voluntary beaching of themselves.  These whales even let a tasty child, pet their tongues.  Then, I realized they could teach whales anything.  “Baby whale, you swim inside the mother, bite a blood capsule, and Mamma, you push it out.” They prolly did that miracle of birth routine 7 times a day. It was prolly a dwarf whale.

Been going to a lot of standup shows and let me tell you, I feel sorry for the audiences most of the time.  Why do people come to these shows?  They’re irritating.  A bunch of comedians gathering on a stage to spit into a mic about how sucky their comedian lives are.

Girls like to dress up like cats to be sexy, but this is crazy.  Cats are not hot. I have never heard of a single human doing sex to a feline.  Ladies, if you want to arouse men, try dressing up like a woman… or a horse, or a sheep, or a cantaloupe… or a jar of peanut butter, or a fist.  You’ll find love in my home.

Since it’s spooky time, I thought it would be a good season to bring up an audio track that has risen from the dead.  This is an mp3 of interstitial I made for a performance at garage comedy in LA.  I was to come out on stage as a loser radio DJ as if I were on location and broadcasting live from the show.

The idea was that these little things would play when I came on and tell the story that I work for an arrogant radio station. I had forgotten that the sound guy is horrible at that show. He didn’t play them at the right time or volume.  I needed the sound stuff to work for my parody to work.  It really hurt to subject a crowd to that, but it’s a free show and mostly for comedians, so oh well.  You can listen to the tracks below.

That’s right, mama. I went to Portland, OR, and showed them how comedy is cooked.  Had a great comedic time in the beautiful city playing comedy-rich kickball.  Thank you to every comedy fan who came out to laugh and yell at me ( the comic ) and drink and yell comical phrases at me about drinking.

I had fun like a kid.

** EDIT: I’M CONFIRMED TO PERFORM AT MORE TOUR DE FAT SHOWS. SEE THE SCHEDULE BELOW

Yo! I performed my pan-caca at the Tour De Fat, Chicago. It was the first date on their tour and I loved it. The people and the festival were a total blast. There was a giant bike parade. A bunch of people promised to bicycle more and one guy traded in his car for a really nice 1 of 12 tour de fat cruiser.

Tour de fat is put on by the people that make… (more…)
