RIP Harry Anderson
Quite the bummer to hear about Harry passing and rather soon, he was only 65. His magic tricks on SNL helped us all get through some rather weak years for the show. I remember how he put a needle through his … Continue reading

RIP Mitzi Shore
Mitzi’s name may sound familiar to many, she’s (not-funny) comedian Pauly Shore’s mother. For those who follow comedy (like me), she’s more famous as being the owner of The Comedy Store, a venue which made the careers of David Letterman, Robin … Continue reading

Brian Posehn 3
Got to see one of my favorite comedians, voice actors and D&D aficionados back in February (the digging out continues!). Hot off his 30 years of being a stand-up last Summer, Brian had a mix of great new jokes and … Continue reading
RIP Barry Crimmins
Just got the news a few hours ago. As soon as my car’s radio came right up to Patton Oswalt talking about Barry I knew this wasn’t going to be a happy story. I wish I were wrong. Barry passed … Continue reading

Roy Wood Jr.
Last comedy show of the year and it’s with another great wit from The Daily Show. You probably know Roy as the current Senior Black Correspondent who’s had funny positions about the NFL and HBO’s possible Confederacy show. The club must’ve … Continue reading
Michelle Wolf
Last weekend I had the honor of briefly meeting while laughing constantly to The Daily Show‘s Michelle Wolf. Besides being a prolific writer, Michelle was incredibly funny, especially when she was covering gender politics and the weirdness of NYC; when Austin … Continue reading
Moontower Comedyfest 2017 was great!
I’d probably be late posting this even if I weren’t in Las Vegas but our sixth annual comedy festival was an enjoyable time again. This year the Paramount Theater organization renamed the el cheapo badge “Podcast” which didn’t really mean … Continue reading
RIP: Don Rickles
I’m glad Mr. Rickles had a long and prosperous life (90) because he was a WWII Veteran that participated in the horrors of war unlike other Showbiz types (*cough* St. Reagan and Clint Eastwood). My brother and I knew of … Continue reading
RIP Kevin Meaney
Poor guy was found dead at his house in New York state yesterday. Kevin was only 60. Meaney was a frequent stand-up comedian on late-night TV during the late Eighties and he had the starring role to the televised version of Uncle … Continue reading
Moontower Fest 2016
It was another collection of great shows. I’m glad I went despite being a rather meh mood these days, but I have a note to remind me to get out there, don’t stay cooped up. I only did a couple nights. … Continue reading
Blaine Capatch
My after-party photo with fellow DM and hilarious joke-writer/teller Blaine! I’m not sure if I grammatically structured that last sentence, we’re only fellow DMs, I don’t write jokes, I only live them. It was great to run into him. I … Continue reading
