Pirates! Sunken Ships!! Party Boat -- Episode 10 is Life as a Comic's summer blockbuster!

After the show you can hang out with celebrities, like TVs Mike Siegel from the Superstation!
Many thanks to co-producer Jon Friedman for having me on the bill and to everyone who was kind enough to watch the show in the hot and humid hold of an old salvaged lightship.

NYC-DIY-- Episode 3

To view movie, click above or here.
The New York alternative, or "downtown," comedy scene is where I spend most of my time, and if you've ever wondered what it's like to do shows in these kinds of places, tag along with me. Learn how to entertain hipsters and what it's like to perform for an audience that thinks it's cooler than you.
The show I did was put together by Liam McEneaney for his showcase for a Comedy Central Presents submission, and it also featured Baron Vaughn and The Domestics. It was a lot of fun and it definitely helps explain the differences between the downtown scene and the clubs.
Hope you like it.
College Gigs -- Episode 2

"College Gigs" is episode 2 of Life as a Comic, to view it click image above or here.
Are College Gigs non-stop parties full of hot coeds where comedians party all night long on campus or are they actually work? I started playing colleges early on in my career and I've played over 300 of them since, and I've learned they can be fun, and they can be terrible, but they never seem to be what people think they are when I say "I do a lot of colleges."
So check out the real nitty as I perform at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
Roadmobiles--Season 2 Episode 2

Roadmobiles
If you're having trouble viewing the video, try the version posted on YouTube.com.
When a comic says he's 'going on the road' people don't often think about how he or she gets there and what condition the thing that gets them there might be in. Roadmobiles takes a look at the kinds of cars comedians tool around the country in; and showcasing their darlings of the interstate along with Rob are comedians Jesse Joyce and Ray Devito. See how comics deal with a vehicle that is their bread & butter, their home away from home, their office and their storage unit.
note from Rob:
Sorry for the static in some parts of the audio, I was using a new wireless lavalier mic and was picking up some interference from somewhere, probably cell phones. It's not too prevalent but I just thought I'd warn you so you don't think it's your computer.
Filmed on location on the road and in Queens!
