sorry if things are wacky.. we just updated from WordPress MU 2.9.2 to WordPress 3.0 – we’ll see how it goes.

We used to have the Activity Stream here on the front page, but that seems to be broken? Until we fix that, please go here to see the latest updates: http://nashvillecomedy.com/activity/

This video is some old material from way back when once upon a time I did a spot on the ” 12 Shiny Nickels ” show in Los Angeles. I forgot about it, but found it while Googling myself like a lunatic. Apparently I uploaded it to Jokes.com, the bastard stepchild of the Comedy Central family of sites. [...]

We tried to enroll Callia into the same secret ninja school Batman went thru, but it wasn’t until after we’d carried a weird flower up a snowy mountain that we discovered that the place had burnt down? Dejected, we looked into ninja schools closer to Nashville. [...]

NashvilleComedy.com wrote a new blog post: Jackass picks up roadkill deer off the interstate

Of course, the jackass is me. This is a video clip I previously put on the YouTubes but I just put it up on the FunnyOrDie the other day, so I thought I’d re-whore it.
It’s a mostly true story recorded May 18, 2009, at Zanies in Nashville, TN during Mary [...]

I think it’s cute the way Fox News freaks talk about the “main stream media” as if they’re all in one building, working together following one shared ideological mission.

NashvilleComedy.com wrote a new blog post: Introducing Granny McSassy-Pants

Everybody knows that the best way to stumble upon new, fresh, up-and-coming talent is by watching prime time network tv. It is the proving grounds. The trenches. The trial-by-fire, do-or-die, additional-hyphenated-cliche, one and only shot at the Big Time. The World tunes in together to watch these bold gladiators of the stage battle for our [...]

Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

A lot of big time performers have one of those “Demand Me!” widgets where (I’m assuming) you can DEMAND that they come and perform live in your basement. I think that’s awesome. I don’t have the fanbase that Jim Gaffigan or Maria Bamford has, but I never want to miss a promotion opportunity, so I [...]

It’s the moosssst nauseating tiiiime of the year. Well, almost.. Valentines Day is hard to beat. The December Holidays are second in the race for most depressing season only because there isn’t heart-shaped crap in your face everywhere you go. Instead, it’s the cliched Christmas garbage that has been crammed down our throats so many [...]

I spend a lot of time reading and discussing news stories about comedy, interviews with comics, reviews of shows & cd’s and whatnot. For a long time, I’ve seen sites like SlashDot.org and Digg.com and Fark.com and thought there should be a site just for COMEDY news. It’s not “here’s a funny thing I found [...]
