FREAKS OF COMEDY

CoC And Maybe Me

Ok, technically this isn't about a show, but the Comedians of Comedy DVD was just released. I'm a big, big fan of Patton, Brian, Zach and Maria, and this DVD shows the highlights of their last tour and includes a bunch of other comedians of the same ilk. I went to their show (their four hour show) at the Troubadour in December and was blown away, even though I'd seen each of them many times.

Plus, their manager interviewed me outside the venue, so I might be in the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Vday laughs

I can vouch for John Roy - totally amazing and funny!

Per Myspace

A little Valentine's Day comedy for everybody tonight at Coda. It's a free show, at 5248 Van Nuys Blvd., in Sherman Oaks, next door to Sumo Sushi, just north of Magnolia. The show starts at 9:45pm, and tonight's lineup includes:

John Roy
