Stand Update

Hey guys!

I'm in a rare good mood this morning. The past 36 hours or so have been pretty decent, by my normal standards. You may have noticed that I haven't put up a stand up clip in a while. I stopped recording myself partly because I was going on stage less-than-regularly. Also, I kinda think those videos are excruciating and I wasn't really seeing any improvement, to be honest.

However, I've been working on some material that I'm proud of and I performed for the first time last night at the Hollywood Hotel's open mic. I think it went pretty well so I'll try it again next week and record it for all you folks eagerly awaiting news of my stand up adventures.

There was a surprise guest at last night's open mic, too. I have to admit I was a bit star-struck when the host announced Maria Bamford would be coming on stage. She did about five minutes of material -- some of it old; some of it new. It was pretty damn hilarious.

So that was a treat.

I'm off to enjoy the rest of this good mood before some depressing fact of daily existence brings it crashing down around me. Stay tuned next week for a new stand up clip and, if you haven't yet, read my latest Adult Swim article: An Intro to Cthulhu!

In the meantime, enjoy these clips of Maria Bamford being Bamfordian. Is it weird that I find her very attractive because she seems so crazy?
