"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.

Previous Episode

One Nighters

It's the first episode of "Life as a Comic"! View it here!

One Nighters are stand-up shows that take place in the most random assortment of venues, sometimes they're fun, sometimes they make you question the choices you've made in your life. And you can never tell going in which kind it will be.

For example there was a one nighter in southern Illinois at a bowling alley on a Tuesday night and you'd think it would be the worst show of your year, but it's always packed and the audience is always great.

This particular one nighter took place in Millstone Township, New Jersey at a restaurant near Six Flags Great Adventure. I was working with Jody Wasserman and Jeff Kreisler and a woman who clucked like a chicken. Seriously.

We'll be back in a couple of weeks with another episode, thanks for stopping by!

NYC-DIY-- Episode 3

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.
