Ahh, another open mic at the Sentient Bean. As fun as it is to perform in other venues, I always feel at home when I’m at my favorite coffee shop. Thanks to all who came out on Monday night for the Night of Stand Up, hosted by my pal Chris Davison. I just killed, had a blast, and now we’ve found another place in Savannah that is great for comedy (and we found out how to set the stage in a great way, too!).

This month is a rarity for my posters. I’ve drawn myself! I’ve held out long enough, and now I’m done a self-portrait and a joke of my own. I do impressions of Christopher Walken and Gilbert Gottfried at one point, and sometimes I get huge laughs. And I felt so compelled to do the poster in the style of theme-park caricature portraits. It turned out to look like a Three Stooges poster. Now, I’ve been able to impersonate Walken since I started doing comedy. Everyone has a version of him in them. But Gilbert Gottfried was a much more interesting discovery. Whenever I’m drawing, and I’m not listening to music or a podcast, I start to talk to myself. Many times, in different voices. During the Christmas break in 2008, I was drawing and being a crazy person, and Gilbert Gottfried started talking to me. I was working way into the night at my parents’ house, and as I had to stop myself from yelling in that voice. But I was going crazy with this discovery! I HAD to keep going with the voice, tinkering it out in detail. I’d jump onto YouTube and found his clips and jokes to tell in his voice. By the time I had perfected it, my parents were in my room telling me to go to bed. And as I laid there in the dark (with the sun just about to rise), I knew I had to debut it at the next comedy show.

Versus Jeremy is a art battle blog where two “Jeremys” fight through their artwork. I am one of those Jeremys. Drawings subjects are based on famous celebrities and pop culture characters.

Last week Jeremy threw down a picture of Johnny Ohm, a boss from some Marvel video game. I had no idea who he was. My contribution this week is Scarlett Johansson. What a beautiful woman. Check out the battle and visit the blog next week to see the other Jeremy’s take on Scarlet Johansson, plus a drawing of his choice.

Are you ill with contempt for Facebook lists? Are you constipated with stools that have developed by such “25″ notes, that you are in need to fluush out of your system? Gross. I am part of a comedy show that seeks to finally put to rest this heinous trend. We extrapolate what it is that people don’t know about the Conquerors of Comedy, starting with …us.

Stop by our website, find out the first three things that are the Conquerors of Comedy and come to our show this Friday to find out the other 25. And rid your bowels of this evil chain letter once and for all. For our Facebook group and more info, click here.

Demetri Martin is premiering his new show tonight, Important Things with Demetri Martin, at 10:30PM on Comedy Central. Some cool tidbits about the show is that it is produced by Busboy Productions owned by Jon Stewart of The Daily Show. Jon also produces the Colbert Report. It seems like he’s got his hands in some great properties and at a good time, too. In this economic meltdown, comedy is definitely a needed escapism, and Demetri brings a show that isn’t full of political and social commentary. He presents his observations on the smaller but important things in life.

Enjoy my comic and enjoy the show!

This incident doesn’t make my blood-boil, because for one thing, it’s Miley Cyrus. To be honest, I’d do the second panel regardless of her doing the slanty-eyes move. This girl is just a mess of a person, and we all know where she’s going to end up when she’s older. It’s sad that she’s as big as she is. And it’s sad if any child sees her as a role model.

But hey, it’s my first appearance! I love showing up in comics, and for this particular comic, it couldn’t be done by any of the hosts of the shows, even though it’s a tabloid story for Elle O’Elle to do. It just wouldn’t make sense for her to do it though. Maybe I’ll show up in the future!
