My DC Improv Debut

Tonight at 8PM, I will be performing stand-up at the DC Improv. I recently took their 5 Minutes To Funny class and this evening is the graduation showcase. I can’t wait to get onstage and make folks laugh in real-time as opposed to via a computer monitor or smart phone. Folks who went to last [...]

Tonight – The World Series of Sh*t Talk

Tonight – The World Series of Sh*t Talk

In a first-of-it’s-kind event, tonight I am hosting You Know What Really Grinds My Gears. It’s like karaoke, but for people with some sh*t on their minds. I’ve lined up one of the area’s best DJs, DJ Roz of Champion Sounds(of Hip-Hop Karaoke fame), and I’m passing along a sign-up list for folks who want [...]

How Does One Apply To Be A Luther?

I’m a few days late posting this clip, but “Key and Peele” on Comedy Central looks like it’s going to be hilarious. I wish I could let my inner “Luther” loose more often! If this were a real job in the Obama Administration, I’d be all over it. I am a master at reading between [...]

I only picked those two because I can tell myself that they’re making me smarter, even though they’re really not. All I’ve learned from playing Scrabble online are a bunch of two-letter words I can [...]

Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert’s Dueling Rallies

I really wish I could attend Steven Colbert’s March to Keep Fear Alive or Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity at the National Mall on October 30. If nothing else, the signs out there will be hilarious, as you can clearly see above. Below, I’ve listed to link for both events. If you’re going to [...]

Donnell Rawlings: From Ashy To Classy

Donnell Rawlings From Ashy To Classy DVD Review

The other day, I got a copy of  Donnell Rawlings a.k.a. Ashy Larry’s new comedy DVD, From Ashy to Classy. Once this carefree Saturday rolled around, I decided to watch it. I mean, why not laugh on a day without the stress of picking digital cotton in that great big plantation we call Corporate America? It [...]
