Look Ma, I Set Up A Link on A Website
Tuesday afternoon, I was on Twitter.  Writing jokes.  Like many of my fellow comedians, I use Twitter as a virtual notebook to jot out zingers and pithy observations that might or might not be useful in front of an actual audience.  Because I live to delight people.   Twitter is where I stumbled upon the news of the car accident that killed comedian Angelo Bowers and seriously injured comedian...

barbaragray: I witnessed something really gross happen last night. Something I wish I’d never experienced. I saw one of my heroes be a total asshole. I was booked on a show called Odd Thursdays at the Palace, a Chinese restaurant in Los Feliz. There is a small upstairs room that has become home to a few…

The Greatest Nigerian Scam Letter Ever.
Like everyone else, I’ve received my share of scam emails from Nigeria.  The emails generally run along the lines of: “We have a ridiculous amount of money owed to you by a blah-blah-blah Nigerian prince, and we need you to send us blah-blah-blah funds in order to release such funds”.  Basically, the usual stuff that snares the occasional naive old lady from South Dakota. ...

ned hepburn: Justin Bieber to play Marty McFly.  →
ronbabcock: Clearly there are now two America’s running parallel alongside eachother in the space-time continuum. On the other one it’s ok to build mosques, eat eggs, and people read books. Kim Kardashian is just a stripper and Justin Bieber is a regular kid who likes to play catch. And then in this reality they think it’s ok to remake Back To The Future, eggs kill you, nobody reads anything...

Videogum.com posted this video earlier today. It’s called “Hot Drinks.” It was for Wendy’s employees in the 90’s to learn how to pour hot drinks. It’s also possibly the greatest song ever. There’s another video to teach employees how to serve cold drinks. It’s called… Fantastic!

My worst show ever.
The following is a post I wrote for a thread on the “Stage Time” forum of the comedy website A Special Thing.  The thread is entitled “Worst Show Ever”:  Let me preface this story by relating the weird way I fell into stand-up: A little over 4 years ago, I went on an internet date with a woman who worked in the entertainment biz. We didn’t hit it off ...
