Recent Shows and Future Plans

Yo,

April 22nd was the Stephen Lynch show that I was given the opportunity to open up for. CUB (College Union Board, my college's entertainment crew) was extremely nice and very patient. Stephen Lynch on the other hand, was a huge douchebag. But he was funny, so he still got paid. Nice job Stephen, I enjoyed the show.

Last Tuesday night I was invited to do a benefit show with Lambda Pi Eta for young children with cancer. Adam Mamawala was the headliner and did a fantastic 20-30 minute set of all his material that he's been creating throughout college.

Other openers included Gordon Baker Bone (hilarious and black), Noah Houlihan (virgin comedy, absolutely hysterical) and Phil Toronto. Everyone did a fanstastic job, but I really think Noah stole the show. His hilarious self-depricating act about his virginity, his girlfriend, and life without making it all the way around the bases was something I had never heard of before. Real nice stage presence too.

Anyways, finals are going down. Theres a lot of talk about people who want to kill themselves but I think thats taking it a little too far. I mean, I definitely don't enjoy finals, but I think there are worse things that could happen to a person...losing all sensitivity in the left side of your body is pretty bad...or being approached by a homeless person when you really get iffy about that kind of thing.


Hopefully this summer I can nab a few shows in the Philadelphia region since I'll be living at school (just a short 40 minute train ride away from living the dream...dream train). Pictures coming soon...and by soon I mean within the next 5 years.
