August: The Month of the Comedy Show

So I have a new found respect for my girlfriend (who by the way, is a stand up comedian.) In the past 3 weeks, she has had 8 shows. Now understand I have missed one show since December, so it’s not like I don’t go to these things. However, since I now get up at 5:30 in the morning, the same time that she gets up, I understand not going to bed till like one in the morning can do to you. So hat’s off to her for what she’s been doing for five years.

Speaking of comedy… if you’re on Facebook, you should check out In Rare Form, the awesome improv group that performs every Friday night at the LA Connection Comedy Theatre.

As for LA Adventure, well I did see my first transvestite hooker in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago. By the way, if your a dude, and you want to wear a micro mini skirt, tape your balls up, so that they don’t hang out. Trust me, you’re doing us all a favor.

Also, I was lucky enough to attend the AFI Screening of Funny People with a Director Jude Apatow on hand for a Q and A afterword. I don’t understand the negative reaction people seem to be having toward this movie. It’s an awesome film. It’s not quite 40 Year Old Virgin, but it’s better than Knocked Up.

Star sightings: the most common famous person I seem to run into would be Scott KrinskyScott Krinsky at the Comedy Store , who plays Jeff on the TV show Chuck. This guy has been out making the comedy club rounds, doing a lot of stand up.

Not much more to add this time out, but check in next time for the Heather Horton Birthday Edition. Also, if you’ve not seen it, check out The Cowboy Movie on youtube.
