August Update
Sunday, August 5th, 2007
I've been spending most of this month in LA and it's been fairly exhausting, which is good. This past week I had to drive back and forth between Ontario and LA to do do shows at the Improv. It's about an hour to two hour drive each night back and forth b/c they don't put you up. It reminded me of the old days of doing comedy in Milwaukee and driving two hours to the gig so I could be up the next morning to go to work. The shows at The Improv were great. I worked with Alonzo Bodden, who was a nice guy and funny to boot. He's gotten quite the following since Last Comic Standing and it's well deserved.
My commercial agent has been great. I go out on at least two or three auditions each week, which is great. I actually landed one audition for Fox's "On the Lot". It was a union gig, which is nice and now I'm SAG eligible. Once I become a SAG member I can get free foot massages from Tony Danza anytime I want. Check out the "On the Lot" short film here. It's called "Road Closed"
Danny Jelinek and I also got another pilot into the Channel 101 show this past Sunday. It's called "Revengeance". Unfortunately we did not get enough votes to get another episode. It was a little more dramatic than comedic so perhaps that may have been the reason, but it's good to be diverse. You can judge for yourself here:
I have to start preparing for my trip to South Africa. My brother bought me a book about South Africa. It sounds amazing. I have shows just about every night, but it's only 15 minutes every night, but I really want to take advantage of my time there and see everything. I'm planning on keeping a daily or at least every other day blog while I'm there. I'll probably post it on my myspace so you may need to go there to see it. Also, I'm going to try to post some photos while I'm there. If you haven't gone to my myspace profile, check it out here:
I'm doing Jimmy Pardo's show this Thursday at the UCB in LA and the other guest will be Rob Corddry from "The Daily Show"
Sweet!
