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 [...]

On The Road To Recovery

2012 has been both incredibly promising and agonizingly painful. As you may already know, I have an event coming up January 24th, the likes of which Washington DC has never seen before. It features great music as well as the chance to go up and share your own public rant about ANYTHING. Think “karaoke” meets [...]

Bombing at Laffs On The Harbor

I had my worst sober onstage performance ever last night at Laffs on the Harbor. The event was really nice, and I would definitely recommend the show to anyone.

When The Stank Lingers On…

Have you ever encountered someone so smelly, so rank, so musty…that his/her smell lingers on long after they’ve left? That happened to me yesterday. I performed a little stand up at Looking Glass Lounge, and after my set, this drunk dude came up to me to talk about comedy. He insisted that he had the [...]

Guess Who’s Back?

Donnell Rawlings is back at the DC Improv this weekend. Last time he was here, I got a chance to meeting him after the show, since I’ve known his brother and sister in law for years. His stand up is just as funny as his work on Chappelle’s Show, so I definitely recommend it. Speaking [...]
