FunniCuzItsTru: 40 on Monday and I Share the Date

Posted on May 10, 2013 by

So this is almost 40… One weekend left and boom – I am middle aged?!?!

Society has created this thing where people celebrate birthdays and have parties or drinkathons that leave you in the state that you were as a new born. Confused, screaming and crying, and most likely vomiting.

I have no set plans but this…

Sunday night I might get dessert before the Legends of Aurora show with Headliner Eugene Kenny.

I’ll wake up Monday when I actually turn 40 and hang out with Matt Need on Unfiltered and Unaffected and maybe register my car.

Life has stuff and it would be awesome to get out of jail free card for your birthday but that’s not reality. It would b funny to see me ,Dennis Rodman, Stevie Wonder, Robert Pattinson, Steve Colbert. Witold Pilecki, Buckethead, Harvey Keitel, Joe Louis, George Braque, Darius Rucker, Pope Pius IX, Beverly Owen, and B Arthur went out yelling at everybody…

It’s My Birthday I’ll Do What I Want!

Check out the list it’s cool. Google your own because other than B Author and Dennis Rodman there are no other people to make you wonder if it’s a “weird date”. Actually that would make a weird date… and a confusing bedtime!

FunniCuzItsTru: Time To Try Something New – Story Teller Open Mic

Posted on May 9, 2013 by

What Does An Open Mic Mean To You?

I know why I go out and tell undeveloped jokes to people because I have to practice. There are a number of different arts and all take practice and experience. One thing that is true for all artists is that they tell a story. This can be through jokes , the way I do it, or a poem, song, spoken word, performance art, or any other avenues.

The nice thing about a mixed open mic is most attendees are artists and sometimes people come by to watch. You might not want to hear a song while waiting for your turn and poetry might not be your thing so think of the art as a the result of a story. I can set up a joke and deliver the premise with some laughs and a punch at the end and that’s my ultimate goal. The story behind the art is the art and how you deliver it is the entertainment. I find that something is more entertaining and interesting when I understand the meaning.

Starting Tuesday May 13th at Strange Grounds

I turn 40 on May 13th and would love to tell some stories. It would also be nice to hear a song and find out what it means or why it is being played. People perform to express themselves and the story you tell can be as simple as why you like the song. If you love a book and want to read an except, feel free.

There are some simple rules to the performances and nothing drastic:

  • Have something to perform and a reason you are doing it
  • Be creative and free yourself from performance stress
  • Engage the crowd and let them know why your art is important

FunniCuzItsTru: I Don’t Play Much Pinochle But I Know a Trump Card

Posted on April 25, 2013 by

Riding a High Can Get You Hurt

On my way home from work ysterday I stopped at one of my favorite spots, this quaint little coffee shop that has an open mic tha great for working out new material. This particular eve I had nothing new to share. It happens and as a comic with a drive home that includes passing this establishment, I decided to drop in and watch some others and maybe have a cup of joe.

Doing comedy is a choice from what I know. The old school jester days are long gone and the mafia really never took an active role in muscling funsters. A great set at a big club, biggest one in town, often leaves me with a desire to hold onto the high. One day out of seven without a set isn’t such a bad thing or so I thought.

No Means No Yo!

After watching some comics and then seeing the end of the show near, I decided to leave. I had not put my name on a list so as far as I knew, no commitments were made. I love telling jokes and I also love to relax. My goal of not getting killed in Baltimore when I visit in a week was almost accomplished by the incident that occured in what I can only describe as a failed attempt of mafia style extortion of my comedy.

With no desire or indication that I was going to tell jokes, not even my name on a list, I assume my constitutional rights are protected when performing comedy is not in my agenda for the evening. When

What is an Incident?

In sports it is often asked when a player goes down if they are hurt or injured. There is a big difference because a hurt player is coming back and an injured player is out for at least a little bit of time. An incident can be epic or devastating, traumatic or even part of the name of a hippie jam band.

Begged Questions…

What constitutes a reason to lose what you seem to love?

How do you break down what you have not given yourself the chance to build?

What degree assault dampers your future?

What is the statue of limitation on `assault in Colorado? (this one is the Trump card)

statue of limitations

Other notible information… my nose is strong  as fuck and the Denver comics mostly all kick ass… Bad seeds are bad!

Posted on April 23, 2013 by

Who’s Up for a Show; Who’s Up for a Challenge?

Rumors April 25thHere’s the deal team… I have been given this room to test out some comedy and my thoughts are this…

Get downtown at whatever time before the show and bark until it begins. There are a few confirmed comics on the show and we hope to do this regularly. The rules are simple and the list is kept to 5 including me as MC.

Our First Line Up…

Sam Tallent, Adrian Mesa, Brad Galli, Jacob Hamel and me, Jon Wilkins are on the show. You might see us walking around giving out flyers and driving traffic in the direction of 15th and Market to pack the place the best we can.

Opportunity is here… I have spoken with the owner and the place has 4 floors and the ability to really run a great packed show.

Thursday night come help launch this new room to help create more entertainment and opportunity in Denver.
