30+ years as a comic, 11 years as a husband, eight years as a father of three. My Hollywood pronouns are Who is he/Never heard of him. Scott Baio is aware of me
Today at the Baltimore aquarium I read the name of this fish out loud and said “I wish I would’ve known a few more of those when I was single” and high fived a complete stranger wearing a baby bjorn. America rocks
5 paying customers at the late show, during my set the waitress quit and then her husband came in and had a loud confrontation with the owner about 20 feet from the stage...I did an hour like it was a full house, one of the 5 gave me $100 tip.
Fuck you, I Am Comedy
If you’ve ever been part of the audience at a comedy club and thought you were “helping the show” by yelling stuff out, this is actually what you were doing
Hey everybody, the Queen’s death has left us short an owner in my fantasy football league. If anybody wants to take over the team ‘Goff save the Me’ send a dm.
A guy got thrown out of my show Saturday night, as he was being escorted out I was yelling “Why couldn’t Covid have killed YOU? Look at how fat you are, you must have diabetes!”. Just found out that man went home and died in his sleep. Comedy Is Back!

We need to be very clear about how great this is.
@bellykachman
stood in small room with a serial rapist and his crew, and called him out while simultaneously sharing her own trauma. That’s Hall of Fame, story-told-forever, Lenny Bruce type courage. Absolutely Brilliant

@BrodyismeFriend
opted for an early check-out. Brody always remembered my wife’s name(and where she went to college) and my kid’s names and would ask about them when I ran into him. This meant a lot to me. Here is a tale of an adventure we had long ago
#BRODY
When AIDS came I stopped eating monkey because they told me to, when EBOLA came I stopped eating monkey, again, because they told me to, and now you want me to cover my mouth when I cough? Sorry CDC, that’s a bridge too far
I remember when I was a teenager and I asked my mom to go to Cancun and she was like “I’ll take you to Cancun but I’m just dropping you off, once you’re there you’re on your own” because she was a great mother
This is terrible news. Ron was an incredibly talented man. Improvising in character is something very few people can do and Ron did it better than anybody. I was lucky enough to have done some live shows with him and he was always a mensch. My sincere condolences to his family.
"We are sad to confirm that Ron Sexton, longtime member of the ensemble cast of "The Bob & Tom Show", died Friday in Ohio while on tour with his stand-up comedy show. Ron was known by millions of listeners of "The Bob & Tom Show" for the indelible comedic characters he played
In the doctors office awaiting my physical, I can hear my Dr on the phone in the hallway arguing with his credit card company. Apparently there are some charges that aren’t his, I’m not sure of the details I just know this isn’t the energy I want him bringing to the prostate exam
You jerks can make fun of it all you want but I think Mike Pence’s plan to send the coronavirus to a camp with other diseases and use the Bible to teach them to be less pandemic like is the kind of outside the box thinking we need right now.
You didn’t know her but this is my mother, she died 6 years ago today. She was a social worker in Haight-Ashbury in the 60’s and therapist in Wisconsin in the 90’s. She lived a whole big life and I loved her.
I wanna thank everybody that stopped by to fact check my one sentence joke. I just want to say that you’re all wrong, anybody with two houses and more than one suit is a billionaire. Now get out there and tell everybody it’s actually Frankenstein‘s monster you thieves of joy
I own a house! Today The Smith Family moved all of our possessions 15 minutes down the road to our very own home. This is my 1st time being a land owner, I’m very much looking forward to voting and mediating local conflicts.
I love
@DickBain
, always will. He was consistently the funniest guy on every show, hopefully some others will post his comedy. My kids absolutely love him, here is a video of him committing to a bit with my son, and keep in mind we didn’t turn on the camera for a few minutes
The stand-up comedy paradox goes something like this;
Comedian says something over the top racist, misogynistic, homophobic, etc. Then, in the next sentence, they tell you how they aren’t allowed to say the thing they just said.
It’s the Kobayashi Maru of self-victimization
Dateline Hollywood:
@IanKarmel
has rearranged the letters in the Hollywood sign to somehow read RipCity and is currently atop the Capitol Records building waving a Trailblazers flag with the fury of an infantryman calling in an airstrike

It’s too bad that 17-year-old wasn’t visibly carrying alcohol instead of an AR-15, the cops would’ve confiscated the beer before he could do any damage.
My son is under two years old so you can’t buy him a seat but he’s 98% in weight and height so basically I’m gonna be traveling with a man in my lap for the next four hours
This is Tony. He is responsible for 34 of the crowd members tonight
@funnyboneomaha
. He not only invited them but called each of them individually this morning to make sure they were coming to the show. He’s not my manager or agent, he’s just a fan of standup. Be more like Tony
We did our best to explain to our kids what happened yesterday before dropping them at school. My son was glad they got the bad guy and my daughter said she would hide under a table and be very quiet. I sure hope their generation can solve this because I’m damn sure mine can’t.
Last night my toddler walked in the kitchen and started choking in front of me and the wife. I swatted him on the back sending a dislodged 5 cent piece flying across the room. So I said “If I had a nickel for every time I did that!” Because I’m awesome at breaking the tension
Today at virtual kindergarten the kids were assigned a partner to answer the question “What would you do with $100?”
My son and his partner decided they would use it to buy money
Does anybody else remember when the entire Senate was called back from recess to stop the removal of a feeding tube from one woman in a permanently vegetative state? Maybe we should treat this with the same urgency

bill until after recess. “The Senate will act when we come back and we have a clearer idea of what extra steps we need to take,” Sen. Lamar Alexander told reporters.
I will now begin every trip to Vegas by donning a leisure suit with wide yellow tie and heading to Cesar’s for a game of ‘how many times can I tell everyone I meet I am Doug Stanhope until I get thrown out’
#ImStanhope
Early this year I had an awful stay in the Rio in Vegas, which I reviewed on TripAdvisor and Yelp. Now I am banned from every Caesars property in Vegas )
My new favorite comic
@bellykachman
got on stage only to find Harvey Weinstein in the audience! She called it out beautifully and didn’t back down in the face of some lunatics booing. Bravo Kelly Bachman, I hope I have the honor of sharing the stage with you soon.
Yes, we Gen Xers were afraid of nuclear war but we were also afraid of devil worshiping day care centers, mosquitoes with AIDS, being sexually assaulted during an alien abduction and anyone thinking we might be gay. In general we are a bunch of fraidy cats.
Next to a burned down strip club is the second best place to see Auggie Smith do standup comedy. The best place? The inside of a burned down strip club.
I’ve worked some pretty shitty clubs in my life but never one that would allow somebody to stay after they punched me on stage.
#Oscars
needs a new door guy.
The Seattle Comedy Underground is closed and will not be reopening, this is terrible news. The original location in the basement of Swannies is the best comedy venue I’ve ever worked. I became a better comic because of the freedom of that stage and I shall never forget it.
