Yatesy Comedy

I was delighted to hang out with Tony Cheslock and be his guest in his podcast Old News Today which is exactly what it sounds like plus hilarity.

Then I was on a little show at Klimat Lounge’s Giggle Pit up in NYC that is also put up as a pGiggle Pit Podcast podcast! So feel free to check that out too!

Finally, my friend Alex Grubard has started a blog about his adventures as a comic over the past ten years in NYC. You should check it out, it’s funny and interesting all in one. http://100innyc.wordpress.com

Since around September, I have been trying to get it together to start doing a podcast for my foodblog, DidjaEat?. Between procrastination and not exactly knowing what I was doing, it got pushed to February.

So, I partnered with Vicki Long (@pearlzgirl) and we have put together the first episode of the DidjaEat? podcast. In the future we have some great comics lined up to do spots and interviews as well. But for this episode its just me and Vicki runing our mouths about the foodz.

Enjoy!

When I’m not writing jokes or stuffing my face with assorted delicious food, I enjoy helping out my fellow comics with video stuff. My friend and fellow comic Alejandro Morales started a web series called Dates, where 2 people go on a first date. I’ve had a bit part in one and have helped out with production on 2 others, and I gotta say, it’s great and really funny! Check it out!

Every single day I spend here on the East Coast makes me long for the sun. This crazy winter has turned us all into sun deprived tauntauns (hello, fellow nerds). So there are two things to do: drink beer and lay on the sofa and come see comedy. I’m about 50/50 on all of that.

Here’s some upcoming dates:

Feb 8- Comedy Trainwreck- Daly’s Pub, Phila. PA

Feb 11- Second Stories “Be Mine”- The Dive Bar, Phila. PA

Feb 22- Featuring- Crazy Cow Comedy Club, Manayunk, Phila. PA

March 28- The East Village’s Giggle Pit- Klimat Lounge, NYC

April 4 & 5- Hosting-Crazy Cow Comedy Club, Manayunk, Phila. PA

April 12- Standup Evolution- Lancaster, PA

April 25- Grovers Mill Coffee Shop, West Windsor NJ

So that’s Philly, NYC and Jersey. Unless, of course, the Polar Vortex becomes sentient and devours all of us whole during some upcoming snowstorm. I mean, stranger things have happened….right?

If you need me, I’ll be over here…wrapped in my down comforter stress eating Girl Scout cookies and daydreaming about complaining that my ac doesn’t work and it’s too hot to move.

Or…at a show. Hope to see ya there!

I think the title of this post pretty much sums up what’s going on here in Philly. I spent some time out in Los Angeles in December and they had to drag me back kicking and screaming. If anyone has job leads out there, let me know. I have had quite enough of this ridiculous weather, thanks. Brrr…..

Anywho, I hope everyone had a chill holiday season. The comedy rolls on here in Yatesyville. I will be defending Carol the Crazy Kenzo Mom’s title at the 2nd Annual Veggie Wing Bowl on Feb. 1! And lots of other fun stuff here:

Jan 10 & 11: Crazy Cow Comedy- Manayunk, Philly, PA

Jan 14: Polygon Comedy Show- L’etage, Philly PA

In other news, I put together a little reel of silly things I have been in (with tons of really funny philly comedy peeps).

So stay warm out there. Only a few months until the sun comes back.

Until then, come to a show and drink your face off.

Well it looks like fall has finally decided to show it’s face. I’m sure it’ll be here for a short time, so enjoy hoodie weather while ya can!

Anywho, I didn’t advance in the Helium Philly’s Phunniest competition but I did get a great video out of it. Here it is:

For people like me, there are 2 seasons: the sweaty season and the freezy season. This is the sweaty season. I’m not too much of a fan.

I’ve been spending time inside lately. I did Kevin Lau and Dan Scully’s podcast Super Crappy Funtime. That was a blast and they are really fun to talk to!

Check it out here.

Hey guys,

So a few weekends back I stood in the rain and the mud while watching Tim Butterly have a slow meltdown about getting lyme disease. I was also helping John McKeever (of Bird Text fame) shoot a silly little short called “Samesies”. John knows I love to play a weirdo and there ya go.

Wanna watch? Here ya go. See if you can spot me!
