Not counting the time I was removed from the stage at the Laff House in 2005 (for speaking truth to anal waxing), I've been doing standup now for about 6 years straight (lol). Last year, for the first time, I advanced past the first round of Helium's Philly's Phunniest, only to be unceremoniously dispensed with in the second.
This year, I advanced to the second round again, and while we can all agree that comedy contests are meaningless and impose hard competition onto an art form that's more ...

This year, I advanced to the second round again, and while we can all agree that comedy contests are meaningless and impose hard competition onto an art form that's more about finding *your* voice and *your* audience, I WANT TO ADVANCE OMG SO BAD I CAN TASTE IT AND IT TASTES LIKE PEACH SANGRIA AND DIAMONDS.
"What can I do to help?" you ask. I'm glad you asked, because what kind of monster doesn't want to drop what they're doing and attend to my feelings, my ego, my comedy career (if you want to put air quotes around "career," feel free to do so in the privacy of your own home). Anyway, here's what you can do! I have about ten comp tickets to my quarterfinal round on Tuesday, July 12th at 10pm, and you can get one or two or three or four or five or six or seven or eight of them. All you have to do in exchange for these hot free Tuesday night tickets is vote for me, and also stick around for the other contestants so you can fill out the ballot in full, and also Helium has a two-item minimum, and that's not so bad because believe me you're gonna want to put at least two drinks in you to get through this -- DELIGHTFUL AND FUN NIGHT OF COMEDY ENTERTAINMENT AND SUPER FRIENDLY COMPETITION.
Okay it took me seven of my nine lives to write this event description and I might not get around to individually inviting all my friends who I want to come, so just trust and believe, if your eyes are scanning these words right now, YOU ARE INVITED.
Okay I love you all buh bye.
