Last month, two hilarious improv groups in Los Angeles, Temporary Insanity and So Funny It Squirts, teamed up to do a benefit show for a new piano for an improv theater. I had the pleasure to be in this improvised piece… a musical set in a small coffee shop.

And the best part is I get to sing about one of the coolest toys ever!

This coming Monday, St. Patrick’s Day, I will be performing in the first-ever ComedySportz Standup Comedy Show. Our guest star is none other than the very talented Maria Bamford.

So I thought this would be a good opportunity to plug her (stop thinking dirty) so that you know of the awesome talent that she is.

She’s been on Comedy Central Presents, The Tonight Show, Conan, etc. She also has done a lot of cartoon voiceovers, and when you see her act, you’ll know why.

And I’ve crossed her paths a couple of times, so I can also tell you she is an incredibly sweet person.

She has a lot of goodies online, including standup samples and her very own show on SuperDeluxe.

Here’s some links to her stuff, as well as an entry I wrote in my old MySpace blog a while back about her. And come out and see the show on St. Patrick’s Day!

Black History Month is almost over, people, so here’s a fun improv video from Kelsea and her “black friends” Janae and Jen, answering the public’s questions they’ve always wanted to ask black friends. Very funny stuff from my fellow black nerds and friends.

The thing that’s funny about Hollywood is that you can meet someone who’s a wonderful and strong working actor and not even know it. That’s what happened to me tonight.

I was performing at ComedySportz in Hollywood. It’s a show where two teams play improv games to compete for laughs and points. It’s a totally cool show and you should see it, it’s for all ages. Okay, plug over, back to the story.

One of the games was a guessing game that required me to leave the room. To prove we’re not cheating (cause no one believes in magic anymore), we take an audience member with us.

A young lady volunteered to go out of the room and we stand outside to make small talk.

She introduces herself. Her name is Vanessa.
