The last twelve months have been very busy and as I look back I am pleased. There's so much to be grateful for, proud of and draw inspiration from.

Quick trip to Austin this past weekend to perform at the Hideout as part of the Friday night "Spectacle." We were on a bill with the house group Parallelogramophonograph.

Fun Grip had a good set. Our suggestion was "Sun Symposium" and we hatched a narrative about a guest speaker at the end of his rope, with father issues, giving a lecture on "The ( Read more... )

Improv set with FUN GRIP tonight at John Rawley's "Boxing Day End-of-Year" Bash at the Dyer Street Bar. Wasn't super-psyched to perform since I'm on this cozy holiday kick and serious getting-my-act-together thing lately.

The audience was rather reserved, with a few young groups there to have ( Read more... )

Swearingen and I performed a FUN GRIP set at the Dyer Street Bar last night as part of Alternative Comedy Theatre's 3rd Annual Big sexy Weekend of Improv.

Before I get into our set, I have to say, I had a blast at the event! Good people, great conversation, copious amounts of beverages, pretty good comedy, some kick-ass music, even a hot burlesque ( Read more... )

I performed the first Dribble Funk of 2011. The playing space as Cafe Bohemia, a small 6' x 4' clearing at the front of a long room was very tight. I also thought it wouldn't be great to sit in the chairs or do anything on the floor or I'd be out of sight of everyone but the first two rows.

The piece went pretty well. I stumbled searching for words ( Read more... )
