Starting next week the 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival will be starting here in Minneapolis! There’s 8 different shows you can go see but let’s focus on the ones that really matter. The shows I’m in!



PUNCHLINE PUNCHOUT

Two teams of comedians are given a topic the morning of the show and only have several hours to come up with brand new set lists to perform that night. There are two preliminary rounds on Oct. 22nd and 23rd (I’m in the 23rd show) and the winners will battle it out in the finals on the 26th. What will the topics be? Will the comedians buckle under the pressure? Will I freak out onstage like Tom Hanks in Punchline?

Will the comedians rise to the moment like at the end of 8 Mile or choke like at the beginning of 8 Mile? Come to the Comedy Corner Underground and find out!

THINK FAST

This one’s a bit like the Punchline Punchout but instead of being given one topic the morning of the show, you’re given one topic per joke to write about onstage. Myself and several very funny people will have to improvise our stand up sets onstage! There’s no competitive element like the PLPO but I’m always silently, secretly at war with everybody around me so watch me win October 24th at HUGE Theater!

THE DIRTY SHOW

Comedy is better when there’s swear words. That’s a simple fact. While I do believe you don’t need to be dirty to be funny dirty is always way funnier. I’m going to say so many swear words in this show that if I listed half of them, Websense would block this site from your work computer forever. Come on out to the Comedy Corner Underground on Oct. 24th at 10 and midnight (I think I’m in the midnight show) and laugh you shitty fucking bitch ass off!



SEX, DRUGS AND ON THE ROAD

Ever wonder what it’s like when a comedian goes on the road? What magical adventures lie in the depths of Bismarck, ND, Peoria IL or Brainerd, MN? This show is all about comedians telling road stories. Maybe I’ll tell the one about the girl who punched me in the face or that time I pooped in a bathtub… man, I need better stories.

Check it out! Oct. 25th at the Comedy Corner Underground.
