I'm in a zone comedically. The last time writing was this consistently easy for me was the first couple months of my Sophmore year, when I wrote more material that's still in my act during a short period of time than at any other point. I had a little spurt when I was working at Wal-Mart this summer, but a lot of that stuff didn't stay in the act ( Read more... )

Check out Grover Norquist's book "Leave Us Alone!" at Barnes & Noble now. It's a very good book.

So Sarah and I are officially broken up. Our conversation about it went really well and we're both on good terms, as far as I understand. It's like the old saying "If you love something, let it go." Well we're both free to do whatever we want, and the future is up in the air. Nothing's 100%. I obviously still love Sarah very much, but now this ( Read more... )

If anybody is interested, Mike Myers has a new movie coming out called "The Love Guru" or something like that. The movie itself looks awful, but a cameo is made in it by one of my favorite comics, Daniel Tosh. He has a very small role, but I may go see the movie just because he's in it; the guy is high-larious. I recommend you all buy his album ( Read more... )

So as it turns out, I just discovered my Kosher Wine bit is the 4th-most viewed video on PunchlineMagazine.com, a highly-respected stand-up comedy website that interviews such stars as Dane Cook and Jim Gaffigan. My clip is more viewed than anything by Demetri Martin or Brian Regan. Weird. I'm ridiculously honored, but is it really deserving? ( Read more... )

So, my sister and I are close. We didn't used to be, but in the last few years we've become much better friends (about the minute she turned funny, we began getting close ( Read more... )

She can't come until Saturday afternoon, though, because I got booked for a show in Wilton IA (Eastern Iowa) Friday night. It's a really sweet show: $100, free dinner, free hotel, free breakfast in the morning. I can dig that. It's my first show with a free hotel deal, so that is exciting. I'm doing about 30-35 minutes. Woo-hoo ( Read more... )

"Be Kind, Rewind" is a really good movie. I'm glad Fred and I went to see it, but I do feel bad that Wes wasn't healthy enough to go with us. But $8.75 for a movie ticket? I might as well have just rented it and burned it. But that'd be WRONG ( Read more... )

What!? Did they SEE the same movie I saw? It was intense, but to say THAT was the best movie of the year... c'mon, Academy. Show some love for "There Will Be Blood." At least Daniel Day-Lewis got best actor ( Read more... )
