WRATH OF THE TITANS
There was an extended promo for “Wrath of the Titans” on last night’s “Challenge: Battle of the Exes*”, which promised a bunch of new mythical creatures, “each more fearsome than the next.”
So everyone go see Wrath of the Titans, in which the computer-generated monsters get progressively less fearsome.
*Don’t you judge me. CT could take his shirt off at literally any minute.
Los Angeles. Your pencils. Let's talk.
Saturday, April 21st, Largo at The Coronet!
David Rees, the imaginartist responsible for Get Your War On and My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable, wants to SHARPEN. YOUR. PENCIIIIIIIIIIIIILS!
David will be putting on a show to celebrate the release of his new book, which is called How to Sharpen Pencils: A Practical & Theoretical Treatise on the Artisanal Craft of Pencil Sharpening for Writers, Artists, Contractors, Flange Turners, Anglesmiths, & Civil Servants. You can pre-order the book on Amazon if you think you’re man enough.The book is not only hilarious, it also really tells you a lot about sharpening pencils. You can buy the book from him in person after the show. And after you get your own pencil sharpened!
For real. I was gifted one of these pencils he sharpened. Look:
Also appearing on the show? Me. That’s right! Paul F. Tompkins!
Also also appearing on this show? Genius comedian-characterationist Andy Daly.
That’s right again!
EVEN IF YOU DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PENCILS THIS SHOW IS NOT TO BE MISSED!
BUY TICKETS HERE OR BE SAD FOR ETERNITY!
What's This Now? FREE COMEDY???
Episode 150 of Comedy Bang! Bang! features me truly as Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bobby Moynihan as A Little Orphan Boy, and Scott Aukerman as Hot Saucerman.
This is an especially absurd episode of this already ridiculous podcast. Enjoy!

Cheerio!
A BUNCH OF TWEETS IS COMING.
Hear ye hear ye. On April 1st, starting at 9pm PST, I will live-tweet the season premiere of Game of Thrones on HBO. Last week, I watched the entire first season in two days. Prior to that, I’d seen only the first episode when it premiered last year, not knowing how I felt about what I was seeing, but knowing I needed to go away and think about it for a while.
Now I am all caught up and into it. I am not into the books, and I am old enough to have earned the right to say I don’t need to read them and never, ever will (despite some nerd in my life* trying to talk me into them). I am fine to have the story boiled down to story-length and not be informed of the type of thread that is used in sewing together everybody’s jerkins.
If you are a fan of the show and are worried about spoilers, I understand if you need to unfollow me for that hour, but if it eases your mind, I promise you that my commentary will not really give away any actual plot points. I’ll just be goofin’ a little.
So there you have it! You have been alerted and/or warned! Join me or don’t! But know that I can’t wait to join all our old pals:
The Queen of Mean!
‘Burnstraps!
The Murderous Tomboy!
Ye Statione Agente!
Ma!
That One, and Him!
Private Flounder!
EUNUCH EUNUCH EUNUCH!
Fakey Shakey!
Count Seasonthree of The Wireton!
11th Hour Annoying Lady!
Lady Strawhead & Uggie!
Betty Draper’s Brother!
Harvey Dent!
I am well aware of the fact that no one has asked me to do this or wants me to do this.

Dear friends
This is good news.
I have shown up late to this little patch of the Internet.
Please, let me make up for it by entertaining you. With my MIND.
More soon.

TOUR POSTPONED!
Due to work obligations here in Los Angeles, California, the tour I had planned for May of this year is being pushed back to the autumn of also this same year. More information on the tour and the work obligations here in Los Angeles as they develop.
Meantime, I am doing a tiny bit of travel, and I am providing you with the information about it. Startiiiiiiiiiiiing NOW.
FRIDAY, MAY 11th: St. Paul, MN
I will be a guest on John Moe’s Wits at The Fitzgerald Theater! Appearing with Aimee Mann! This will be cool FOR SURE! Tickets
SATURDAY, MAY 12th: Minneapolis, MN
I remain in-state (not in state; I will still be alive) to do my new hour of stories, “Crying and Driving,” returning to Pepito’s Parkway Theatre. Tickets
SATURDAY & SUNDAY, MAY 26th & 27th: Austin TX
I am closing out the Austin Sketch Fest, performing “Crying and Driving” at the 29th Street Ballroom. I hope this is not a Shining-type situation! The word “ballroom” makes me nervous that I will end up trapped in an old black & white photo!
Other places, I will let you know when I’ll see you when I know when I’ll see you!
