Thanks again for all of the positive feedback! Larry, as to Maui Tacos, they actually have at least three open mic nights there per week. I'm glad that people have enjoyed my material and am also happy for the constructive criticism! Thanks all!

Good to know, perhaps I'll pop in the next time you perform.

It's been awhile so I figured I'd post another video. Had to go to the poker joke again to close after my Iphone joke died! Hope you enjoy. This video is NSFW, and as always I appreciate positive and negative feedback (and yes I know it's a zippo lighter, not zipper but the host was an hour late and as such I enjoyed an extra beverage or 3).

Cool vid!
I have some constructive criticism. The joke about Facebook and how to get Pu_ _ _ Juice out of denim, the end just pitters out with "and now I ignored her, and now she's disowned me". I think you can have a stronger finishing joke at the end of that one "and now I ignored her, and now she ignores my comments on how to please dad in bed too"... or something unexpected, and that raises the uncomfortable bar. Just an idea.
ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.
Good work my friend. I think the only thing you're missing is your own style, but you'll get there sure enough.

Thanks all! As to how I got into it, living in NYC explains it. I've been writing material for a long time but it took my ex-girlfriend pushing me and setting up my first gig. On any given night in New York I can perform at 3 or 4 places. In a little over a week a new girl that I'm seeing (thru connections) set up a gig in which I will get 30 minutes which will be a great experience as I will not need to be rushed to get to the punchline for a change. I'll also be able to address the crowd which I never get to do. If you or anyone reading this is at all interested I can't stress enough to just go out and do it! Wherever you live theres always someplace you can go at least once a week to perform.

So here is a video of me taken last night performing stand-up in NYC. Keep in mind a couple of things. First, it's only the 4th time I've done this. Second, I had a "bit" of liquid courage in me. Third, and most importantly, the crowd is made up of stand-up comics trying out new material and a few scattered guests. One of these guests came with me and before I went up heckled a couple of the comedians to my utter disbelief and horror. So to say the crowd didn't love me would be an understatement! Feel free to provide feedback (yes I know that I speak too fast and when I've consumed a bottle of wine in under an hour I have quite a lisp!) Positive and negative comments are welcome! Without further adieu:

when's your next gig?
'Thursday in Times Square area where there will be a booking agent and I will have 7 minutes. Then a week from Tuesday in Murray Hill which is the show my friend set up where I will be headlining and doing 30 minutes with my opener doing 15. You should come to one!
"The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
So I know it's unlikely that anyone can make it from the board but figured I would throw it out there anyways. This Tuesday at a club in NYC called Nirvana (346 Lexington Ave btw 39th/40th st) My friend and I will be doing a comedy show. It is my first headlining gig and apparently theres some pretty amazing drink specials. Show is free, and starts at 7p.m. The two of us are the only performers and if all goes well we will be meeting with the owner to discuss a weekly gig, so hopefully it goes well. I'd love to see some PJ supporters there but if not, catch me some other time!

Practice doing your bit without saying "You know" so much. Find some alternate filler phrases.
