Comedy Store Performance - UPDATE!
Mua! Muahaha! MUAAHAHAA!
*falls over*
*seizure*
*foam*
I have some good news for those of you who have bought tickets to see me perform at The Comedy Store in Hollywood on the 16th.
On Sunday, while I was at RMFC (details on that con to come!) my acting agent Toast sent me a message. He went to get more tickets from them and they told him they were holding off any further booking for the night I was performing to see what would happen.
Today, after landing in LA, we both went to The Comedy Store to get even more tickets as interest had piqued a bit over the weekend. At this point, the guy in charge of the show I would be performing at said that plans had changed. There has been enough interest shown that they are going to give me my own show. So, for you ticket holders out there, you will not get a mere 8 minutes of performance from me in the middle of a pile of other comics. I will have two or three openers and then I will have a full 30 minute performance to give to you!
I checked out the place for the first time and I about spooged. This isn't just a great venue. Have any of you seen "Man On The Moon", with Jim Carrey playing Andy Kaufman? Remember the final scene in the comedy club? THIS IS WHERE THEY FILMED THAT!
Very classy place with waitresses who come to your table to serve you booze. Great lighting. Great sound. Great crew. As I was there tonight, I could barely resist the temptation to jump on stage and start up into my "Abort The Toast" act!
So, in short, I'm happy to announce that I will no longer be part of a performance at The Comedy Store. I HAVE MY OWN SHOW at The Comedy Store.
Curiously, strange things have already started to happen. I've been getting offers from other comedy clubs in my e-mail. I've been getting texts on my phone from people I don't know inviting me to perform in contests and events. And my performance hasn't even happened yet!
You know, there is a point when every successful performer says something to the effect of, "I wouldn't be here without my fans." I am starting to understand exactly what they mean. At this point, it isn't up to me anymore. It doesn't matter how funny or professional I am. The only thing that matters is how many of YOU come to show me some love. And the support I've received has been amazing. The Comedy Store guy's jaw about hit the floor when I told him people were flying in from Texas for the performance.
So, you know what? Let's blow the roof off this place! We've already amazed them... now, let's make this shit RIDICULOUS! If you haven't gotten a ticket already, e-mail me at 2@ranting-gryphon.com and get one. I want the organizers of this thing standing around saying, "What the FUCK!?" I want them to have to open the extra sections just to get you fuckers in! And, if you can't make the show, you can still help by spreading the word however you can.
You guys have shown your support for me and now, I'm going to give you one hell of a show.
