College Graduation Party

I performed at an outdoor college graduation party last night. What a fantastic group. They set up rows of chairs around the patio and Alan Grafton and I did our thing. Thank you Cathy!

Cry Baby

"Colic" is crying for 3 hrs/day at least 3 times a week for 3 weeks. That's also the same symptoms of someone watching the Lifetime Channel.

Neat Freak - Emphasis on the word "Freak"

My bride is such a neat-freak. It drives me nuts. Just to spite her, when I die I'm having my ashes scattered on the kitchen floor.

Brie Johnson on Millionaire Matchmaker

Friend and comedy writing partner Brie Johnson will appear on Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker. She will be opening for her millionaire/hypnotist/zebra Anthony Cools at the Paris Hotel in Vegas.

Millionaire Matchmaker annoyances:

• Patti Stanger has a Super-Secret Database 'full' of available women but yet every show she has to scramble to get enough girls to attend her mixers.


• Patti's catch phrase is "Does the penis go up and down off the couch?" If you had a penis that could sit on a couch, you wouldn't need a matchmaker, you'd need a porn 'stache.


• She boasts a 99% success rate - the other 1% is apparently her. She's 47 and not married. She has a mysterious boyfriend that no one has seen - like Jan Brady's imaginary boyfriend "George Glass". (when they met, did Patti's penis get up off the couch?)


• Every show - despite the '99% success rate' - ends with "...they did not see each other again". That's weird math.


• The only tolerable person on the show is dude with the mowhawk.

Busy Week of Comedy

This week I got to travel to Washington, KS to do a show for their annual Chamber of Commerce event. It was such an interesting, small town. I stayed in a motel next to a store called "Camp Creek Bird Seed and Golf Carts" (for the bird lover on the go?). That was not the strangest combination business in town. There was a chiropractor/gun store. The people were great we really had some good laughs and a nice dinner.



There was a tomcat outside my motel door howling the entire night. I imagine a few local kids were sitting in their truck outside my door tossing sardines out the window. "Welcome to Washington, city boy."




On the way home I saw a sign outside of Seneca, KS that says: "Seneca: A Great Place to Live: School, Church, People". I was thinking, "I don't like any of those things."

I also saw a semi turned over on it's back on the side of the highway. Either the wind got it or it wanted me to scratch its belly.


Saturday I performed at the Lake Winnebago Yacht club for their annual Valentine's Dinner. Bob Bennett was a terrific host. Those people really like to let loose and party. Here were some numbers from the bar: 22 cases of beer, 9 cases of red wine, 5 cases of white wine, 5 bottles of vodka, and 7 bottles of Scotch. And that was just Bob's tab. :)

Bad Barbie

Parent's are protesting Barbie Dolls, saying they give young girls a negative body image. Because, no matter what they do they can never obtain the same proportions as Barbie and end up resorting to extreme measures like plastic surgery.

You can't blame Barbie for that! I agree this country has an obsession with plastic surgery. It's too easy. You don't like your eyes? Just change your eyes. Don't like your nose? Get a new nose. Don't like your lips? Get new lips. But that's not Barbie’s fault! That's Mr. Potato Head's.

Just for Laughs auditions - Kansas City

I had an audition for the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. They sent someone to film our set. There were only ten comics picked to audition including Jason Dixon, Bill Blank, Skip Clark, Justin Leon, Johnny O, Sean Brennan, Mike Smith, and Kurt Ramos. We each got six minutes to do our thing. It was a very strange crowd and we really had to work for the laughs. Dixon said it best when he announced, "That joke was way better than you gave it credit for."

I went sixth after Skip who had a good set, so they were warming up to us by then. My opening joke wasn't the best. I did the bit about the weather man who forecasts your wife's mood. Looking back, I shouldn't have opened with it. It's more of a middle-of-the-set joke, not an opener. The rest of the set went well, especially the joke about the jeans (below a few posts). That joke is destroying every time. Overall, I had a decent set - not spectacular. But, I'm afraid they'll watch the opening bit and fast-forward me.

Hopefully one of us will get a call back, although there are only 20 spots TOTAL. It's a long, long, long shot.

I have a show in Washington, KS and a Valentine's dinner party next week. Those shows are fun because you get 30-45 minutes to be yourself, tell your stories, and relax.

Bon Jour!

Hanging out in Paris this weekend. My train pulled into the train station early morning just when people were scurrying about, fetching fresh bread for the day.

Paid 1 Euro to use the restroom. Got my money's worth.

Stopped and had coffee at a little cafe and watched Parisian life happen around me.

Walked to the Eiffel Tower, Le Louvre, Champs D'Elise, Arch de Triumph, etc...and back.

I learned that French people don't really hate Americans. They must just hate you. If you're polite and at least try to speak their language, you'll do just fine here. I also learned that there's no such thing as taking too many pictures. I'll post some, I promise.

Back to London for a few more weeks....then I'm heading home for a late Thanksgiving with my bride and my babies.
