Because I (thankfully) have little else to do with this information, I’m just popping in to relate the information that there are 3 copies of my 2018 live album Modern Life is Awesome available at the Dupe Shop in Toronto. I completely forgot that they kept 3 copies of their own to stock when they … Continue reading

New Trae Crowder Special Tonight
Justifying the continued use of this website, other than just archiving cool stuff from the 2010’s. There’s a new Trae Crowder special premiering tonight via 800 Pound Gorilla, and it should be fantastic. In the face of all that “comedy czar” stuff happening vis-à-vis the alt-right’s hijacking of the comedy industry (with enthusiastic buy-in from … Continue reading
The State of Comedy in 2024
It’s interesting to see popular stand-up, as a cultural industry, reach that point where popular music was at the end of the 1980’s (and thankfully is no longer), when reading or hearing well-crafted critiques of it was much more interesting and artistically enriching than actually listening to it. Here’s one such critical video (that’s funnier … Continue reading
‘Modern Life is Awesome’ $10 Vinyl Special
I just unearthed the last 30 or so copies of my 2018 album Modern Life is Awesome, and despite the best efforts of DHL when they were originally delivered, the jackets are in Mint Condition. Because (1) I’ve got a good handful of life-expenses coming up, (2) I’ve got a bunch of LP mailers that … Continue reading
It Happened Again! (Caleb Synan + Ella Horwedel at the Broadway Theatre, Mt. Pleasant, MI)
You know I need to reprioritize my online presence when I do another standup night at the Broadway and don’t even post about it here. It’s not even that I didn’t think anybody would see it here; it’s mostly been a personal arrival at a reckoning about the orchestrated uselessness of social media in plugging … Continue reading
FORTHWITH MOVED TO FEBRUARY 9TH : Brad Wenzel at the Broadway Theater (Mt. Pleasant, MI)
2023 wasn’t weird or anything, other things just kept on happening. But, enough of that, back to the cause: Brad Wenzel (who you probably already know, but if you don’t, then you should know) will be headlining, Nicole Melnyk (ditto) will be featuring, and I’ll be politely telling the crowd about how great the show’s … Continue reading
RIP Boogie B
Brandon Montrell, known to most as Boogie B, was shot and killed in Center City New Orleans over the weekend while he was minding his own goddamn business. His mother wrote a scathing editorial for the Times-Picayune (as it’s been subsumed into the gelatinous media-mass of NOLA.com) about how fucked it was. I quickly discovered … Continue reading
Throwback
to one time that I ate a sausage po’boy off the top of a bodega trash can before a gig at the Hi-Ho Lounge in New Orleans. July 13, 2014. Don’t let anyone tell you that DIY touring isn’t sheer goddamn glamour. I miss it and don’t. Anyway, not that anybody has any reason to … Continue reading
And AGAIN
Mac’s Monday comedy night returned to East Lansing tonight, and tickets went on sale for this today. A Monday for the books, absolutely. Yeah, the Keith and Sam show was a blast, so the Broadway are doing it again, and I couldn’t be more excited. TICKETS HERE Continue reading
