Advising Myself Tomorrow Night at Second City

Who doesn't love short notice? Tomorrow night, I'll be at Second City's de Maat Theater for a special, farewell incarnation of The Late Show with hosts Joe Kwaczala and C.J. Toledano. We'll all be pulling out the stops to celebrate C.J.'s move to Los Angeles (where he'll be working an enviable job on Conan O'Brien's new show). I'll be reading a piece thus far entitled "Advice Column Responses to My Inner Monologues at Various Ages." I can only guarantee that this will include footy pajamas, urine, fake urine, lion tamers, ironic t-shirts, horrible first dates, attempted thievery, and batman coloring books. I can promise nothing more.

If you're in the Chicago area and looking for something to do on a Saturday night, stop by. You can buy tickets in advance here.

Take That, YouTube!

This Saturday at Second City's de Maat theater, I'll join host C.J. Toledano and other comedians to sit in front of a giant screen and make up some live commentary for YouTube videos suggested by the audience. It'll be Mystery Science Theater meets every drunken house party in the last five years.

You can buy tickets in advance here. I apologize in advance if I make a dick joke about your cousin.

The Late Live Show

Here I am, making good on the promise of the last post: back to posting I go.

Above is the second installment of The Late Live Show at Second City in Chicago. The audio is a bit dodgy in places, but you can heat me discuss the origins of my comics as a cum-rag, debate the muse of gay mummies, and perform rather poorly in a game of "Win, Lose, or Draw." I take the stage around the twenty minute mark, but roughly half the references I make are about bits from earlier in the show, so I wouldn't recommend skipping it (and I'd recommend watching it mainly because it's twenty minutes of solid comedy from a bunch of talented young comedians).

Thanks to hosts C.J. Toledano and Joe Kwaczala for having me on. A good time was had by all. Or at least by me.

The Late Live Show

This Saturday at midnight I'll be over at Second City's de Maat theater, taking the stage with hosts Joe Kwaczala and C.J. Toledano for the second installment of the The Late Live Show, a live-on-stage-in-front-of-live-people talk show. We'll talk about... well, I have no clue what we'll talk about, but I can guarantee I'll make a poop joke somewhere in there. That's my promise of quality.

The first show sold out and people had to be turned away at the door. Not too shabby for a non-network show. Let's just hope Jay Leno doesn't decide he wants in on the action.

According to the show's blog:
