Trust me, I have a blog post forthcoming that has nothing to do with self-promotion. Just let me get this one out of the way, because it will be good times and I would like to share the love.
I am going to be on one of the shows called "The Ambiguously Brown Comedy Hour" with a gaggle of women, all of whom are awesome. There is about a metric ton of awesome involved in this show. We're talking top quality crab.
I even made a shitty flier in celebration of it all:
Did you see much CUTENESS is involved? Ay, God.
So here are the deets. If you've been meaning to come see me, make it this show!
COMIX - 353 W 14th Street (at 9th Ave) Thursday, October 16th at 7:30 pm Ever wondered what would happen if a hilarious comedy show just happened to be ethnically diverse? Wonder no more.
Laugh as comics Jiwon Lee (Comedy Central), Diana Saez (CNN, Sí TV, Sirius Radio), Aparna Nancherla (NBC's Stand Up for Diversity, NBC's "Last Comic Standing"), Erin Jackson ("The Ellen DeGeneres Show," NBC's "Last Comic Standing") and Retta ("Comedy Central Presents," "Premium Blend," "Slackers") take the stage and shatter stereotypes. Hosted by Desiree Burch (Joe's Pub, VH1's "Best Night Ever").
I can't stop coming back to DC. Really, it's a great place for comedy. People turn out. They're smart. They're ready to laugh. It's everything a comic wants out of a crowd. So when my gurl (and amazing comic) Aparna said "will you do a show in DC" I was like, um, let me see if I can work that into my usual schedule of sitting on my ass and watching The Rachel Maddow Show non-stop and questioning my sexuality.
So, it's on, and what makes it especially awesome is that it's headlined by Ms. Erin Jackson. Um, she's kind of a big deal and all now, especially after getting on THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW. I seriously had wee tears of joy in my eyes watching the clip because anyone who's close to Erin knows that Ellen is one of her biggest influences. Watching her get to sit down and talk to her after her set almost made me believe in God again. Girlfriend is blowing UP, so see her now before she only plays stadiums and theatres.
We'll be performing at the DC Improv Lounge Friday and Saturday this weekend. Doors open at 7:30 and tickets are only $10!
I am feeling very night before Christmas because, bitchez, I am getting the hell out of New York City and going back to New Zealand for the first time in five years!
For all of you people not in the know, NZ is a magical place. It is full of dolphins, blind, flightless birds, cala lillies, and hobbitses. Pound for pound, NZ can take on the biggest countries - especially in the category of odd news. How about some wombat rape? Or perhaps an SUV crashing into a home and knocking a man right off the shitter? NEW ZEALAND HAS IT ALL!
It also has the haka, which makes up for the fact that the New Zealand basketball team's name is, no joke, the Tall Blacks. And, no, they're not.
The haka is a traditional Maori dance. The New Zealand rugby team performs a version of the haka before games to scare the shit out of the opposing team and also strike fear and panic into the heart of whiteys all across the globe.
I present you with two fine vids of the haka:
Now, similar, but with THROAT SLITTING ACTION!
Want to know more? Google that shit. This ain't Wikipedia.
Anyhoodle pussy doodles, I am going to this magical land on Saturday and will return to this piss stained city once more on April 14th. BUT FOR ALL THE KIWIS WHO ARE READING THIS - I'm performing in Aotearoa!
Dates are still up in the air, but I will most definitely be around at Auckland's The Classic and The Wellington Comedy Club while I'm there - I'll post dates ASAP.
If'n y'all in NYC, you need to come down to Comix tonight at 9 pm because I will be tipsy and performing stand-up comedy with a boatload of other comics. I have this joke I'm so excited to test run - so come and see the comedy sausage being made right before your eyes! NO COVER, dudes, just a discounted two item minimum. For reals. Deets:
The Late Show at Comix Motel, will be this Monday, March 24th at Comix, (353 W. 14th just east of 9th Ave.) at9PM.
Hey, instead of entertaining you with a blog entry including some scrap of content, I'm just going to whore out some upcoming thingies of mine.
First up!
TONIGHT I WILL BE ON FUCKING SIRIUS RADIO! Did you hear that? Hells yes. I will be on Sirius Satellite Radio's "The Blog Bunker" on Indie Talk (Channel 110) at 5:30 pm and will be sitting next to the most hilarious Palestinian (besides Yasser Arafat) Dean Obeidallah .
As if that shizz wasn't cool enough, I'll also be hanging out with my wimmin friends exploring our yonis and root chakras at NYU next Monday (March 3rd) at 7pm. I shit you not when I tell you this show is FREE because we believe in the fierce woman warriors and their cause. Stop shaving your legs now and join us!
Join NYU as they kick-off Women's History month with a celebration of women in the arts. The event will feature Chicks and Giggles—a stand-up group featuring the best female comics in New York City at the E&L Auditorium (4th Floor) Kimmel Student Center, 60 Washington Square South. Featuring:
Doors open at 7PM. Food will be provided. Entrance Policy: Bring a photo ID to enter. So bring your friends! FREE tickets can be picked up at Ticket Central. Go to ChicksnGiggles NYU to reserve your free tix!
Also, if you like to kick it with hipsters while being down with a cause, I'll be at my girl Jamie Lee's awesome new show "Diamonds in the Fluff"THIS TUESDAY in Brooklyn. Why "Fluff" you ask? Because we're doing it for the sweet furry faces at theBrooklyn Animal Rescue Coalition. So, if you don't go to this show, you might as well change your name to Michael Vick. HIPSTERS REQUIRED TO CHECK THEIR JUDGMENT AT THE DOOR.
Christmas is coming early to D.C. because, bitches, I am back in town next week. If you don't think that statement was loaded with an offensive level of self-importance and delusion, then you're my next BFF. I need more yes people in my life.
I will once again be in D.C. after my move to NYC. I am going to buck the typical cliche and arrive to Our Nation's Capital entirely devoid of bitterness and jokes about cab drivers. Seriously, I will just be so happy to be in a place where the 4 hours of precious sunshine we're allowed in the winter isn't cockblocked by skyscrapers - wait, I think I my bitterness slip is showing. Any way, I miss D.C. and its peeps, and especially it's large, opossum-sized rats and absence of stank. Praise!
What is bringing me back to Das District? In a word...POON. Yes, folks, that wondrous jolly, slightly sweaty, velour tracksuit wearing elf has decided to bestow you all with the gift of SKETCH COMEDY at another fun and exciting addition of POONANZA. So come on out, see a gaggle of hysterical talented people get together and give it to you live, in real time. With a writers' strike making TV even shittier than ever before, you have every reason to get out there and see this. Support something local and organic - it'll be just like Whole Foods, but without the entitlement and white guilt.
Also, mama is trying to get in town super early to do a set at The Bomb Shelter on Thursday night - this show is always a blast. It should be joyous for all involved! Please come and see me! SPREAD THE WORD! COME FOR THE FREE HUGS, STAY FOR THE LAUGHTER!

Diana Returns to the Land That Taught Her Binge Drinking

hey. remember that time you started drinking chardonnay at 12 in the afternoon and didn't stop until 7 or 8pm and i only knew you were home because your head hit the front door? and then you spent the evening in the fetal position on the floor of the bathroom? god those were good times.
My goodness; I wish you would stay there. Hopefully somewhere without electricity so the rest of the world doesn't have to waste their time reading your truly unfunny dribble and musings.
This is the fourth post I've read about New Zealand (I am reading them backwards), and I get more and more perplexed. How? What? Why? AWESOME! I guess I'll have to get the straight dope from you, personally.
I once babysat for a man from NZ who kept vegemite in his pantry and had a John Stossel moustache.

Cool dawg, I'm doing the bunker tomorrow. If I had known sooner, I'd have listened for you. I mean, if I knew soon enough to subscribe to Sirius. Congrats!
