Vega$ here I come! and Flappers

Hey, by chance, if you are in Vega$ this Monday night, September 20th, and you want to hear some chuckles, check me out; I will be performing at the Comedy Festival at the Alexis Park Resort - 10 p.m. show.

Hey I checked out that new comedy room in Burbank, Flappers, last Friday evening -- very nice. Comedians and non comedians, you should check out that club!!!

Hmm, okay, that's it for now.

Alonzo Bodden, Julie Kidd and Vince Harper @ Java Joes

Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of performing with funny man Alonzo Bodden, winner of Season 3 “Last Man Standing.” He was masterful on stage; mixing it up with the audience, successfully trying new political material as well as performing his usual strong A material. Also performing was Vince Harper (very good set) and producer/host, Julie Kidd (of Funniest Houewives of OC), who had a funny and tight set and connected very well with the audience. And I also threw out a few jokes, taking care of business, like Biggie, I had to represent Brooklyn, ya know what I’m saying?

Hey, if you find yourself behind the Orange Curtain in Yorba Linda, you need to check out this place, Java Joes. Man, the place was packed inside and folks were hanging outside. Julie hosts comedy every first and third Thursdays and bands perform Friday and Saturday nights. Really comfortable place. They have a big screen to watch the games Monday night, they serve beer and wine and a lot of tasty treats (this place is also a bakery!!!). And talk about tasty treats, check out the staff that worked that night:



From left to right, Sexy Nicki, Red Hot Kelly, Gorgeous Gloria (owner) and Delicious Bri aka Java Glo and the Javaetts.

Java Joes is located on 4975 Yorba Ranch Road, Yorba Linda, CA 92887 (714) 970-7988

Allison Breen, Willis Turner, Cary Tobaben, Charles Jaffee and John Henry

At the last minute Dave McNary asked me to fill as the MC last night. We had a rather nice turnout and some very impressive comics. Allison Breen, hmm, don't recall if I have worked with her before. She is funny and clever, a comedian with substance. Well, let me not get ahead of myself. After I opened, John Henry from Chicago hit the stage. Definitely a thinker and has the potential to be one of those guys behind the scene in comedy TV projects; one of those executive producers that most folks don't know. I do hope he attracts the right attention out here in Hollyweird. Willis Turner hit the stage a little later and ripped it. Man, he is very funny and totally committed. He gives the audience 100+ %. He was worth the price of admission, all by himself. Another Ice House regular followed, Cary Tobaben, and he was received well. He has great stage presence and he performed some new material -- way cool. Then Charles Jaffee hit the stage. He has an opening bit that is brilliant. He then followed with another brilliant routine, where he narrates a boxing match between Jesus Christ and Satan. Then Allison Breen graced the stage and she had a solid set. She was one of my two favorites last night. The other was Willis Turner. My boy Robert Murray had some good material. So did Todd Basil and Sean Munley. Kenny McClain closed the night. Love this guy's delivery. He has a story telling type of feel, and he is very funny. Wow, it was a good night!!
