Wits End

This week has been a lot of fun at Wits End so far. Working with Jacob Breckenridge from Tucson who came all the way up to mc, and headlining is Chris Clobber. Wednesday night was a private party, all of the county treasurers came to the show, not a young crowd. Had to do a cleaner set, but had a lot of fun. They were a great group.

Thursday night was a lot of fun, too, and I didn't have to do clean jokes! Had a fun set.

Friday night early show was a big crowd and they were a lot of fun. Second show was pretty small, but they were great laughers. A lot of times they don't want to laugh, but this crowd was fun. Sold some t shirts and dvds, too, which is always fun!

Tonight there are 3 more shows at Wits to close out the week. I always dread the 530 show, but usually end up doing pretty well. I'm tired.

Heading to see King Tut in a few minutes with J-Man Breckenridge and his lady J-Woman. Then I'm gonna watch Iowa beat up on Michigan!

karma/illegal petes

Caitlin, Jake and I went to Lakewood for a show at Karma on Saturday night. Show started late, wasn't really a great set up for comedy, but the show was actually really fun. The people that were there actually paid attention and got the jokes which was nice. And they had the Iowa-Penn St game on, so I got to see the ending of that!! Go Hawkeyes!! It was a fun show, Sam Tallent, Jodee Champion, Jake Sharon and Jesse Carter performed, too!

Jake and I had another show at Illegal Petes right afterwards which is near Denver University. I'd never been in that area it was kind of cool. The show was pretty awesome, I had a lot of fun. Once again a great lineup: Mooch Wilford, Alicia Jacobs, D. Kelley, Jake, Sam Tallent and Brian Blank. Sam's set was pretty much all improv and he did a great job. Pretty entertaining to watch, he's a bright guy and I think he's gonna do really well. Brian Blank, not so much. Just kidding Brian.

Caitlin and I are going to see Floater on Wednesday night at the Larimer Lounge! I'm excited to see them, I've been a fan since '99 when my friend Nate Tramontina introduced me to their music when we worked at Pizza Hut together. I miss Nate. If you miss Nate, you should check out his band, AnesthesiA! They signed a record deal with Suburban Noize Records last fall. AnesthesiA

This week I have a show at Wits End up in Westminster on Thursday night with Jake Sharon, Dave Testroet, Eugene Kenny, Hippieman, and a few others, it's gonna be a great show! Friday I'll be in Albion, Nebraska, and Saturday in Evansville, Minnesota, with Jordan Zuckerman!

Shows Tomorrow

Well, I have two shows tomorrow, well actually tonight. One is at Karma in Littleton at 830, and the other one is near DU at Illegal Petes around 1030.

I'm going to Karma a little early to watch Iowa beat Penn State! I'm not sure why I'm still awake. I was getting some stuff done for some articles I've been doing for buxmag.com. It's pretty fun, even though I don't know much about the college football teams in Colorado. Oh well.

Next week we're doing an all star show at Wits End! I'm doing Thursday night with some great comics, then I hit the road for the weekend with Jordan Zuckerman. We're gonna be in Albion, Nebraska, and Evansville, Minnesota. Whee!!

BCS Title Game: Alabama knocking off Iowa

Excited for College Football to Start!

September 4th is Iowa's first game! Should be a blow out against E. Illinois. The following week is the big in state rivalry with Iowa State. I'll actually be up in Iowa, which will be pretty cool!

I lined up a gig at Little Willies in Clarion for that night! Did a show there back in April, it was a lot of fun. First time performing back in my hometown. Can't wait to do it again. Got some other gigs lined up that week in Wisconsin and possibly Minnesota as well! Check my schedule, I'll update it when I get the info. I'm typing like people actually read this.

Tonight I am doing a set at the downtown Comedy Works! I love performing there, the crowd was response is always amazing.

Thursday I'm bussing down to Dallas, I'm performing at Hyenas in Fort Worth Friday and Saturday, then I've got a couple one night gigs in S. Texas in Weslaco and McAllen on the 10th and 11th with Kris Shaw. Then back to Hyenas in Dallas for the 12th-14th with Dante! I worked with Dante a few months ago for the first time and had a blast.

I won't have much computer access while I'm out there, so no blogs probably.

Today I am going to a job fair at the airport. I'm really hoping to get a job there, it would be a nice part time job when I'm not on the road. And cheap flights!

Got in with a new booker today, too, Eric Yoder. Pretty excited about that!

And with college football about to start I'll make my top 25 list, I always like to do that before the season. I'm a huge nerd.
