I watched the Tonight Show?
I enjoyed Michael Bolton’s singing?
I’m prepared to share this info with the world?
Yes, yes and...I guess so.
To clarify: I saw about 10 minutes of the Tonight Show, after my DVD ended.* I was shocked and worried when I found I enjoyed Michael Bolton’s rendition of “Georgia” and thought, “Wow, he beats anyone who’s ever been on American Idol.” Although I’ve never watched more than 10 minutes of American Idol, I know this is true. Call me psychic…Now see me in a comedy show. Full 411 below:

Sneak peek at early October Highlights – two shows I’m doing within the NYC Underground Comedy Festival.

Location: Otto's Shrunken Head
Address: 538 E 14(A/B)
Start: 8:00 PM
Price: FREE
Susie Felber and Lianne Stokes host and produce an evening featuring professional comedians. The catch? All comics have (or have had before comedy superstardom) a secret double life -- "day jobs" in advertising.
Did you know many of the comics you see on TV, in print and on the comedy circuit are also Art Directors, Creative Directors & Copy Jockeys whose work is all around you? From writing for the Aflac duck, to writing coffee cup sleeves, billboards, buses, and taxi cabs -- these comedians work as "creatives" in-house or in-agency or in their underpants, drunk from home.
Taglines all day. Punchlines all night. This is not some amature "funniest guy in the ad agency" show. This is a show featuring working comedians who also happen to have a flair for schilling wares...

*The DVD I watched last night was Brit-based comedy Calendar Girls and the admission that it made me teary multiple times is, perhaps, the most embarrassing revelation of all. But luckily, my psychic powers tell me no one will read this far. Seriously, I adore any of those British Isles comedies where UK people in a bucolic setting band together for a wacky purpose and overcome amazing, and amazingly contrived, obstacles. More please.
