The Littlest Comedian

 

Have you heard of this comedian? Not yet? You will. 

Why Isn't This Show Still on Television?

This is a clip of the old Tough Crowd Show.

Dave Attell - Punchline Comedian

Colin Quinn - Punchline Comedian

Nick DiPaolo - Punchline Comedian

Louis CK - Punchline Comedian

Men with Cramps - Part IV - Writer's Cramps

Men with Cramps - Part II - The Warriors

Men With Cramps - The Bowels of History

It is fascinating to learn that so much of human history has been shaped by Cyclical Nonuterine Menorhea, or, Men with Cramps.

Reno 911

For my money, this is one of the funniest shows on television.

Where is This Kid's Agent

 

We do some talent booking and this is one of the pictures from a child that we were helping to get an agent. One the chance that you are looking for a kid for a project, here's your next Dakota Fanning. 

Best of The Fest - Laffapalooza at The Punchline...

 

I am told that it's possible that we will see Jamie Foxx and others at The Punchline this weekend at the closing event of the Festival. WE'll keep you posted if that turns out to be true.... 

On Penmanship

This Article in the Washington Post talks about the demise of penmanship, or more particularly of cursive.

The reason this hit home with me is that two of my girls have gone through Montessori and were taught or are being taught cursive. My oldest is in kindergarten at a public school and is now being taught block printing.

For my money there is a direct link between understanding how to write in cursive and critical thinking.

The less we teach kids about writing the less intelligent our kids will become. Kids who can't write can't express themselves as well as kids who can. Kids who can't express themselves well are going to struggle more than kids who can.

Let the kids get outside playing in some unstructured way and teach them how to write. The kids will figure out among themselves that it's ok to beat up the ones writing in cursive in the dirt.

Griff's Other Endeavor

 

I don't want to make this seem like I am turning this into Griff's personal blog - but this is one of his other businesses. Do you like this logo better? 

Griff's New Logo

 

Here is a sample of Griff's New Logo for the Sunday Night Late Show. What are your thoughts? Like it or Leave it? 

This Week's Show?

 

These are the guys that are coming in to town this week. 

Hot 107 Griff's Psycho Sunday Show

 

We've been doing a second show on Sunday with Griff and it's a great way to put an exclaimation point on the weekend. Zooman is among the many talented comedians you will see on this show. 

Comedian Cory Holcomb Graffiti....

 

If you have never been behind the back bar in our club or went upstairs to the office, then you have never likely seen all of the graffiti on the walls. The green room is filled with it as well. Some don't like it, as comedians do tend to take shots at each other - but I think it's like some humor petrogliff. 

Comedian Keith Terry.....

 

Keith Terry is a cat who just jumps off the stage. He will remind educated comedian fans of Franklin Ajaye and Chappelle. He just has that kind of engagement and energy. We are looking forward to seeing him quite a bit down the road. If you see that Keith is coming to town, make sure you come out to see his show. 

Super Retardo - Comedian Mitch Fatel

 

We really had fun with Mitch Fatel last week, and I wanted to get a picture up fairly quickly. Mitch is very funny, and very much on the rise I would say. The audiences really enjoyed his show and he is experimenting with some multimedia elements that I believe are part of the next wave of live comedy shows. 

A flyer we had worked up some time ago....

 

I thought this was a kind of cool poster that we had worked up a while back for a date 

A Warning....

 

This was made with one of those sign generators you can find by a quick google. This one sums up our policy toward material theft by comedians. 

"You go now!"

 

John Pinnette was just named one of the most popular comedians on the XM Radio channels, and we are happy to be bringing him in to our club the second weekend in November.
