Coffee in Boston with a Fellow Comedian
snlbound:
I got a very nice email from a man named Dan this week. He’s a comedian from south of Boston who runs a Tumblr called Comedy is Weird. We’re getting coffee this week!
If I don’t post about it afterward it’s because I drove 40 minutes from home to meet a stranger who found me on the Internet through a site that doesn’t even require it’s users to confirm their email when creating an...

Tonight is my first guest spot at The Comedy...
As some of you know, I’ve been working the door at a comedy club on Cape Cod in MA for a few weeks and tonight is my first guest spot. It’s a big room and I’m on the bill with some pretty big names, so I’m pretty scared. I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

An Inspiring & Super Fun Interview with... →
You guys need to read this interview with Rob Riggle (The Hangover, Step Brothers). It’s one of the best interviews I’ve read as of late, and I love Rob, he’s hilarious. Serial Optimist has a ton of other great comedian interviews on their page, so read up on those while you’re at it.

design a logo?
Hey guys,
I wanted to REACH OUT to the fans and see if I could get someone to design a logo for Comedy is Weird.
If you guys are interested, whip something up and email it to comedyisweird@gmail.com.
The design that I like best will be used for the page as well as promotional stuff (T-shirts for contests, other crap that I think of) so your design will be seen pretty far and wide.

Minneapolis comedy is ay-okay in my book
Hey guys-

Before the show, I met some comics who had never been there before. They were all nice, although one of them was douchey and said stuff like,...

Alex Mann: Standing Up
Here’s an essay by Alex Mann, musing on his first time on stage. The essay definitely rings true for most comedians starting out, so give it a read. Alex can be found on his Twitter page. Here’s the essay:
Five blocks away. I walked at an even pace down the sidewalk, speeding up to cross intersections before cars received their green light. I approached an intersection as the light...

I really can’t stomach stand up comedians or the concept in general. The idea of getting on a stage for two hours with the sole intention of making people laugh is just cringeworthy.
huh.
