This is a show I did on April 24th.  Aside from the still-persistent pacing, I think it was a good show.  I hit the jokes, the timing was good, and I got laughs.

I had to do it.  I was one of the few Blogger users still publishing via FTP, a method they no longer support.  My options were to host on BlogSpot (eww!) or let Google manage my domain for me.  Neither was an option, so I used WordPress’s handy-dandy import tool and Voila!  A new template and the happy fuzzy feeling I get from owning all my own stuff.  Please let me know if you run into any issues or broken links with the new site design.

This show was OK. Better stage presence but I missed a lot of new jokes because I choked a bit. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.

There are a few new jokes in here. They do need to mic the audience and I do need to stop pacing the stage. Other than that, I kind of like this set.

So I am what you might call a fan of the rickroll. For Halloween I dressed up as Rick Astley and had an ipod with a speaker in my pocket. OK, now I sound like some sort of weirdo. Well, I am a weirdo. I started messing with Twilio’s API (coolest thing ever!!) and came up with my happy-fun RickRoll hotline. Try it at (646) 863-9544. If you need a mnemonic, that number apparently spells “mint new jig.” Enjoy!

A lot of the same jokes, but I think I missed a few. I still don’t have a video where I feel like I 100% nailed it. Regardless, enjoy the show, give feedback, and remember: I am much better live!

Video speaks for itself!

Who doesn’t like a good arson joke?? Although the current economy is a mixed blessing for an arsonist… Lots of foreclosed houses sitting empty and waiting but the price of gas is way up. Argh! Enjoy.

I saw Emo Philips perform at Comix a few months ago. He is one of my favorite comedians, so I was excited to play the same club. Only problem was that they told me I was doing 7 minutes instead of 5 and then they left me up on stage for more than 9 minutes. I filled the time but had to shuffle a lot of material around at the last second. Not the greatest show ever, but a very good experience.

This one includes some new material, but is mostly the same as the other show at Caroline’s.
