Parties!

Comedy Mixer

Saturday night we had the big Comedy Mixer followed by Sunday night’s Oscar Party, followed by Monday’s digging of Cheeto dust out of the carpet.

Anonymous Comedian corrupts Geoff Wurm

Laura Swisher corrupts herself (on The Reelz Channel)

The mixer was a blast with standup workshop performances by Fini Goodman, Ari David, Laura Swisher, Geoff Wurm and… I think that’s pretty much it.

Fini Goodman learns that everyone is 3% funnier in front of a fireplace.

Teen Comedy

Here’s the pressing question: Is standup comedy good for kids? If you thought it was, watch this video and it may change your mind…



Or very possibly, this photo essay may change your mind...

Kid Comedy Graphic Novella: Starring Tyler and Danora

Tyler is angry at Danora.

Good thing his after school program posted this helpful reminder.


Now Tyler knows that thinking and breathing is good and stabbing is bad.

Weezy & The Swish

Weezy, The Swish and Maria Bamford

While it’s very true that Laura and I are quite funny, last week's Weezy & The Swish guest, Maria Bamford may be the funniest woman alive and if you think that’s not true, watch this video and it may change your mind…

I can honestly state that Podcast 88 is the dishiest Weezy & The Swish EVER

What Else is Going On?

Well, Fritz Coleman’s new one-man-play will be performed every Sunday, starting in Mid-April at the No-Ho Arts Center in North Hollywood, so in anticipation of this, we have launched him into My Space. Go ahead and give him a shout. He’s not quite sure how to delete inappropriate comments yet so have at it until he figures it out.

SB Comedy

In Santa Barbara, things at Bricks are Rocking, which is a little ironic because things at Rocks are… bricking? Yes, that should be a verb shouldn’t it, but I'm not going to tell you what it means because I don't want to get too dishy, so in order to find out, you'll have to come to Comedy Nights at Rocks. The point is, didn’t Ellen do a great job hosting The Oscars? I think she was wonderful.

Moral: Come to Bricks on Thursdays and Rocks on Wednesdays! Mention this blog and you get a free hug.

Have a fulfilling, enriching, peaceful week!
