Brian Posehn 2

brianposehn2One of my favorite comedians, voice actors and all around uber nerd graced Austin with his last week. Brian did not disappoint. He performed mostly new material as he sprinkled a few bits from The Fartist into the evening. Some favorite bits: ripping on hipsters whining when they run out of mustache wax, auto-corrected messages from his wife and why he’s on Canada’s shit list.

After the show you can see my friend John and I got a little face time. We gave him a $100 donation to put toward the podcast Nerd Poker which I eventually get around to writing about. Hence why I wore my DM shirt. I also broke out my new Black Sabbath Chucks to show him. I had been putting off wearing them just for Brian’s stand-up.

Brian’s opener was fantastic too. Ngaio Bealum who was Brian’s former roommate back in the early Nineties when they were getting started. Ngaio’s comedy was in the same vein as Brian’s so I’ve put his album on my wish list via iTunes, physical media is harder to attain with comedy records.

Now John and I will be awaiting an upcoming episode to listen for a shout out from the Nerd Poker gang. To show our nerdiness, we put our favorite D&D PCs on the envelope.

I know you may read my site and plug numerous comedians you probably don’t recognize. If you have the chance to see Brian Posehn, take it. He caters to us who dig Star Wars, Heavy Metal (both music and the comic), video games, D&D and life in general.
