Boosh Kla-Klau coming back to the Magnet June 1st!
Hey gang,
Awesome news: my solo-sketch show, Boosh. Kla-Klau., just got back from the LA Comedy Festival where we WON "Best Solo-Show" of the festival!
(I was also nominated for Best of the Fest and Best Writing, but some other dickheads won those)
So we're gonna continue the party by bringing Boosh. Kla-Klau. back to the Magnet Theater Friday, June 1st at 8:30pm. You should all come to this party. It's gonna be a rager.

FUCKIN NEWS, PUNK!
Gang!
Super exciting stuff in the works.
1) I'll be taking Boosh Kla-Klau to the LA Comedy Festival next weekend! This might sound weird, but I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can do the show with so much less time to get the space ready and work with the tech. It'll be exciting like when you're trying to finish killing a chicken before your mom gets home (just me?). I'm flying in Thursday, April 19th and the show goes up Saturday (and I'll also be doing stand up on Friday).
2) DR COMIX has LAUNCHED! I started a tumblr where I doctor comics. I'm super proud these guys and I can't wait for people to check out the next three weeks that I've already scheduled. Five times a week we're gonna be dropping them!
3) COMEDY SHORTS! 5 filmed and currently being edited. 4 written and waiting to be filmed. My youtube channel is gonna blow the fuck up with the number of times my parents watch them shits.
4) My improv team, Junior Varsity, is going to the Chicago Improv Festival at the end of April. We've traveled a lot as a team, but there's something about the CIF that feels more prestigious, what with it being the birth-place of contemporary improv and all.
5) I got a lot of re-tweets today.
Keep checking the website, sign up for updates, follow me on twitter, follow my tumblr, and keep party rockin till your dick falls off.

The first run of "Boosh. Kla-Klau." is DONE!
Yo,
Many thanks to those of you who came out to see "Boosh. Kla-Klau." at the Magnet Theater over the past two months. The shows we did there were incredibly fun, and I'm super psyched that so many people got a chance to check it out.
For those of you who missed it, "Boosh. Kla-Klau." was my solo sketch show. 60 minutes of material written entirely by me, mostly performed by me (aided by a slideshow and some comedian friends).
I'm currently investigating over ways to bring "Boosh. Kla-Klau." to the public, but so stay tuned if you missed it and want to check it out. In the meantime, go see my twitter. I'm hilarious.

Hey guys,
I know you were all wondering if "Boosh. Klaklau" was ever going to get the critical acclaim that it deserved.
Well, we had our first run at the Magnet Theater this past Monday, Oct 17th and it was a resounding pretty good.

Kanye West...oh Kanye West...
I recently found out about this: a show Kanye West did in NYC in which he not only performed the entirety of his new album, but also gave a super crazy and amazingly typical Kanye rant about...so....many...things. Once I got over my extreme disappointment on not having been at this show, I was able to watch the video. It was incredible and retarded in that super special Kanye way. Here are some highlights...
@ 11 seconds - "As you know it's been an extremely hard year for me."
(Thought # 1: ME TOO, KANYE! We have so much in common! 2010 can suck a dick!)
(Thought # 2: Oh, Kanye. You are an international celebrity. Your worst year would make someone living below the poverty line cum their pants, to say nothing of starving children in third world counties, who would die from exposure to so much awesome. At 11 seconds in, this speech has already exceeded my expectations.)
@ 1.28 - "...and to come back...and do 100,000 the first day...digital alone...to do, to be slated to do 600,000 in the first week...and, uh, I don't talk about the numbers..."
(Clearly.)
@ 1.57 - "THEY SOLD OUT AT BEST BUY AT 14th STREET TONIGHT!"
(NOT BEST BUY! They're known for having lots of records!)
@ 2:20 - "I ain't here to do no mutha fuckin politics."
(Okay, but if you talk about George Bush less than 2 minutes from this point I reserve the right to shit my pants.)
@ 2:44 - "If you are a child that's being abused by your parent...or you're a girl being abused by your boyfriend, the greatest win that you could ever have is for that person to hit you in public."
(Umm...are you sure, Kanye?)
@ 4.14 - "Cuz look at this...everybody wants to villanize people...even if you take the concept of George Bush, there is no leader in history that has been villanized in that way, and didn't get killed at war or commit suicide. So any man that lives through it deserves one moment of redemption. Any man! Because at the end of the day, we are all...none are without flaw."
(OH MY GOD! Kanye, if you're gonna make an argument like the one above, I'm gonna need to see some references. Maybe a bibliography. Also, yeah, none are without flaw, but most of us haven't destroyed multiple countries. You are preaching to the way wrong audience. Also, there is shit in my pants.)
@ 5:20 - "...but the nuances of my words, because I am very particular with my words."
(Clearly.)
@ 8:44 - "I can't be your role model. I can't be your savior. I can't be your Antichrist. I don't know what the fuck Illuminati is. I like clothes and I still like girls..."
(I'm not sure what those two thoughts had to do with each other. Maybe we are getting a glimpse at what it is like to be in Kanye's brain. Two thoughts, smashed together like bullet trains colliding. None survived. But hey, at least he still likes girls. I know things were really touch and go there for a second.)
