Hecklers, Rain and Girl Scout Cookies
The torrent of rain is a good backdrop to etch out a ‘comedy’ blog. On this Soggy Saturday, I have no place to be but a coffee shop to be interviewed about comedy, in the afternoon. I have no need to go out in this downpour. It’s beautiful, it’s needed and it’s definitely a change Read More …
Off To a Good Start.
Hello February! I did my show at the Comedy Store over the weekend. It was a packed house in the Belly Room on Friday night, everyone was ready to laugh and laugh, they did. The English guy from Mad Men, that hung himself (on the show) was in the audience, so was some guy who Read More …

My Comedy Birthday
As posted on Facebook today: “Today marks my 21st anniversary as a “professional” comedian. November 26th, 1992 was my first ever comedy show with ComedySportz Kansas City, known today as ComedyCity. It was Thanksgiving that day. Dinner was done. We were settling in to a family game of Trivial Pursuit, maybe a movie later, when I Read More …
The “Post 90 Day Challenge” Post
Friday, September 27th, 2013 I’m assuming I’ve lost my audience at this point, because of infrequent posting of my progress. I must say that I cooled my heels on the whole blog posting, because of a tiny seed of doubt planted by both inner and outer voices. But as I mentioned earlier, I’m not going Read More …
Day 79: Progress, Not Perfection
Well, Summer is over. Of course you wouldn’t know it from the intense heat of LA the last two weeks. I’m torn. I’m miserable in my apartment, or if I actually have to get out in it, but I also just put in some organic tomatoes and they’re growing like crazy! November tomatoes or the Read More …
Day 46: 1/3 of the shows in 1/2 the time
Saturday, August 3rd, 2013 I had a meltdown. Simple terms. I did a new open mic in Koreatown in the another fabulous, huge back room, two Sundays ago. I sucked tremendous ass. The next morning I got interesting news about a comedy event I’m attending That made me spin out of control to the point Read More …
Day 31: …Please Stand By….
Friday, July 19th, 2013 Open mics are just that. OPEN. Open to failure, open to technical difficulties, open to damaging the sound system and set pieces, open to drunken ‘nunchucking’. The first lessons I learned about being on stage, was: 1) Project. Your own voice is enough. 2) Cover mistakes and move on. Unless you’re Read More …
Day 29: F-A-R-N-A-N
Tuesday, July 16th, 2013 The lifelong butchering of my last name could be one of the reasons I gravitate towards comedy. Because after the F-A-R it’s open season on how many different ways you can utterly fuck up saying a simple name. (FAR-nun). Well, let’s see, theirs: Faran, Farlan, Farland, Farman, Farmhand(once on a Read More …
