Last weekend, I was supposed to host for Dustin Diamond. Yes, Screech from Saved by the Bell. Unfortunately, he broke his leg. So I worked with a local headliner and feature instead. It sucked ass, but I did get to destroy at a sold out show. The other five kind of sucked. I did as well as I could have, but performing for 6-30 people on a weekend show isn't a whole lot of fun.
Last night, I did a spot at The Comedy Store in San Diego. That was amazing. The room was packed, and I destroyed. Probably the biggest set of my career so far, and I nailed it.
Still waiting to hear back on 5 festivals and 2 contests. I'm off until Feb 28th, when I'll be in Atlanta for a festival, then I'm touring to Fargo with a couple of headliners. One of the headliners is flying from Fargo to do a cruise gig, so there's a chance that I could pick up some feature work on the way back with the other headliner.

Carlin and Pryor were haunted by some serious demons. Moms Mabley carried a Sherman tank of pain behind her by the teeth. That husky fellow who stabbed himself forty times in a fishing boat too, what's his name, Artie Lange? Funny women are often abused too. Is what it is. But that's usually one particular brand of humor. The types of humor that rely on belitting one's self or others for amusement usually comes from a source of pain.
But Harold Ramis is a good reminder that edginess and subversiveness doesn't necessarily have to be rooted in pain.
dempsey_k wrote:Some comedians / writers are like Ramis - a bit of sardonic edge, but no well of despair. That's why Norm MacDonald's serious moment at the end of his roast of Bob Saget will always be so touching and true. "Clean" guys like Cosby aren't necessarily better or worse, just different in the final product usually. There's a time for everything.

Anyway, I'm ditching you guys when I'm a baller, but I'll just replace myself with a script that mentions sisu and Nicki Minaj so you won't miss me.

Weed gets you feeling delicious and sex becomes making love to Aphrodite even though it's a tubby frump from cowboy jacks, and no barf or indigestion.
