Personal Blog
Major changes are coming to g27. I’m completely revamping the whole site, top to bottom. My blog as it exists now will remain consistent in its content, but it will only be one piece of the site. According to my calculations, it’s gonna be roughly 47 times better. So sit tight.
Sad Ninja has completed our music video for Why Weed Is Better Than Sex! It had 100,000 views after being on YouTube for only a week or so. We’re so proud of how it turned out!
Once that was finished, Geoff, Derek and I (Sad Ninja) were brought in to punch-up, produce, and direct a webseries pilot for Atom Films called 2 Girls 1 Cop. We shot the pilot over two days and are currently working on rough cuts. Do you like moving violations? Do you like hot girls covered in brownie frosting? Do you enjoy things that are of a comedic nature? Well then you’ll love 2 Girls 1 Cop. I’ll post a link to it as soon as it’s done.
I’m off work until the new year! I bet your break isn’t that epic. I love my new job! I did four standup shows in three days last week. I wish every week was that packed with standup!
Monday was a little show at a bar in Venice, Tuesday was the back of a pizza place in Granada Hills, and Wednesday was my first time at the J Spot Comedy Lounge in Inglewood. Ever heard of Inglewood? Yeah, Dr. Dre mentions it a lot… they’re the ones that are always up to no good. Geoff and I dropped by the club to see if we could get the show that night. We gave our standup credits to the host, and he signed us up on the booked show.
Geoff did ok. A couple laughs here and there, but it wasn’t exactly his crowd.
Why wasn’t it his crowd? Because it was 100% black. The audience, the host, the owner, the staff, everyone. I’ve done plenty of mixed crowds and different cultures, but never before have I done a show for one community exclusively.
I destroyed the place. After my set, the owner of the club got on stage and made a two minute speech about how he’s always telling the black comics that you can’t just do black comedy clubs and that it takes a real comedian to go into somebody else’s house and wreck shop. Everyone cheered and wanted to buy me a drink before I was approached by the owner and offered a regular spot there. I can’t wait to go back!
