You know that thing you do when you are walking toward a stranger on the road and you both try to go the same direction? Then you do the little hesitation shuffle dance?
Try doing that to an old guy with a cane.

What makes one technically a professional comic? Does your whole income have to be from comedy? Do you just have to be making money? Could you be losing money although you are getting paid?
Say that if I am ending up positive in my comedic efforts, I can be considered a professional comic…I thought it might be interesting to track my financial progress in comedy. From now on, I’ll track it with posts tagged by “financial progress.” Let’s see where I am now:
Stage time for first open mic: $5
Cover to watch first bringer show: $15
My two drinks plus tip: $21.95
How much I got from performing my first bringer show: $25
TOTAL: $16.95
Red. No good. Next time, I guess.

So my first bringer show happened last night at the New York Comedy Club, and it went very well. Thanks to those who came out: Max, Basil, Travis, Shesi, Grace, and Grace’s friend (sorry I can’t remember your name – I was way too nervous before the show when I met you to absorb any of it). I finally found my voice a little better – unlike my first video on YouTube (where I’m clearly nervous and didn’t have much conviction in any of my delivery).
Unfortunately, I don’t have any clips to show for this week, since the DVD recording somehow got messed up. It’s unfortunate because I definitely had some really organic segments – spots that I had to improv last second because I blanked – that got a great reception.
Also, the first 25 dollars I got from comedy was spent on: 7 dollars for a Heineken at Niagara (plus tip), 12 dollars for for a Niku-don at the Udon place on St. Mark’s, and seafood noodles at Jobee for 7 dollars.
If I ever see a sign that says "no signs" while I'm listening to Ace of Base, the universe will implode with sheer awesomeness.
This sign is on the outside of the locker room, so you can’t see it when you leave. There’s so many jokes here I don’t even know where to start.
I just know that Irony is locked in his room having an orgasm.

Apparently, freecreditreport.com is not actually free.
So it’s pretty cool when you walk into a bar and the bartender knows you and what you want.
It’s not so cool when you walk into Subway and the dude knows I what I want down to the toppings.
Damn, I gotta start eating at other places.
So Yahoo! Movies just put up another photo gallery called “Sam the Man,” and I can’t help but notice how many shitty movies he has been in.
Not to mention this list was created in anticipation of his new movie, Lakeview Terrace…
There’s a joke in here somewhere, but I think the list speaks for itself.
NOTE: Yo, hold up. Is that hair?
