It's already been about a month and a half or so since I started doing these live shows. I imagine it would be something like Saturday Night Live but I've also got this thing about creating a late night show experience and so why not?
Because as much as I love music, I also love comedy. Sometimes I'm a bit reluctant to look for improv comedy actors because they can't seem to turn off The Groundlings or Second City act when they're not on the stage. But I'll keep looking out for them for a show.
In the meantime, the response has been pretty good. Comedian Nick Pozderac has been stepping up and killing it with his dark comedy. Comedian Scott Crisp is on the wheel too and very recently, I've added Ross Day to the mix who fucking killed last weekend. Maybe I should start calendaring these entries to let you know how this is going.
But I've also taken this opportunity to get up there and give stand up comedy a shot for myself. So far, the reaction has been luke warm to good because I'm aware of the beats. I like to make sure my stuff is always fresh though so the podcast and the blog are on display for everyone to get the updates on my life.
Last weekend was pretty fun. This Saturday, if you're looking for things to do in Dallas then this coming weekend should be pretty great. I can't imagine this is the only time I'll say this but I've got the privilege of the back stage room courtesy of Bryan Street Tavern.
The room is intimate and has a great presence for comedy shows. The great thing about this is that it's close to downtown and Bryan Street Tavern is practically one of those downtown Dallas restaurants that really delivers. No seriously, they have some fantastic pizza with local ingredients and a great patio too. Perfect climate for comedy and indie rock, which is great about this weekend because Brian Lambert's brand of country music will hit the stage after the one hour Nite Show.
Everyone should come out for this! Good times, people!
