Had a blast in Iowa Falls this last Saturday! Jerry, Jackie & everyone at Brewsky's was awesome!!! The place was packed, standing room only. I got to work with Spark Mann, whom I've worked with before. A very funny man. Everyone, including us, had a really good time. If you missed it,then you missed out. I have to send out a special hello to Jeff & "Trudy" who put up with a lot of shit from me.

A lot of people came up to us after the show. I love talking to the audience after the show (yes, even if they don't buy a CD). We gabbed and took some pictures. The "party girls" even bought us shots! They know the way to a comedian's heart! Another special hello to "G" and the party girls for showing me the town (for lack of a better term). Glad you found your mom! Be sure to check out the picture pages (page 4 to be precise), I've just added some shots from the Iowa Falls show.

All in all I have to say it was a really great time. I am looking forward to going back to that area in November. That's right, Saturday the 19th of November I will be in Clarion, IA. Maybe I'll see some familiar faces.

Don't forget that Thursday, October 13th I will be performing at the Railside in Nelson, IL. I found out today that showtime will be at 8pm. I hope anyone who can make it does. I want to see some faces I recognize in the crowd... hell, I want to fill the joint with people who came to see me!!! Hey, no ego here.

The interview Thursday on Radio-Uncensored went very well. Fatback & DeNiro were great! If you missed the interview I have a copy posted on the clips page. You can also click the link below to listen online or right click and select "Save Target As" to save to your hard drive. It is a rather large file (10.4 mb), sorry.

Tomorrow is the show in Iowa Falls, IA. I called the venue today and they told me that tickets are $6 at the door and $5 in advance. The show starts at 9 pm. For more info visit the schedule page. Check the site often as I update it frequently. I hope any and all who can make it show up. If you miss the show in Iowa Falls remember there I will be in Clarion, Iowa in November.

I just got the feedback from the show I did last week in Dubuque, Iowa. I got that show set up sort of as an audition to work the two Penguins Comedy Clubs in Cedar Rapids & Bettendorf, IA. Jeff (The owner of Penguins) told me that Scott (The really great guy that runs the shows at Bricktown in Dubuque) said I did good and we are going to get something scheduled at Penguins. That's great news! Especially since I personally felt it was far from my best performance. I've been trying to get with Jeff for nearly a year. Things work out the way they should. I'm better than I was a year ago and I'll be even better by the time I get booked in Penguins. They are booked thru February 2006, but he is going to put me on a contact list in case he has a fall out so I can get in sooner... hopefully. I'll keep you posted. Check the online schedule and keep your eyes out for my e-mail newsletter. What, you don't get my e-mail newsletter!?! Now is the time to sign up. Just enter your name and e-mail address in the sign up box on the left side of any page of the website. You will receive a confirmation e-mail. click the link and you are done! Don't worry, I wont sell, lend, give away or barter your e-mail address to anyone.

I do want to take this opportunity to thank all the people out there who give me support. I'm not going to go into naming names (I'm sure you know who you are) I did enough of that on the inside of the CD cover. But once again, thank you!!! And a big thanks to each and every member of every audience. Without you we comedians are un-employed! I can't say it enough... Thank you for supporting live comedy!

This coming Saturday, September 24th, I will be performing in Iowa Falls, IA. I should be getting more details on the time and location Monday and I will be posting them as soon as I can. Keep checking the schedule page for updates. If you miss the Iowa Falls show I will be in Clarion, Iowa on Saturday, November 19th.

For all those people that keep asking me, "When are you going to perform someplace around here?" I will be performing in Nelson, Illinois at the Railside on Thursday, October 13th. I don't have the showtime yet, but their address and phone number are on the schedule page. I will be opening for Jer-Dog. His website is www.jerdogcomedy.com. It should be a fun show. I expect to see a lot of Sterling/Rock Falls/Dixon people there! I hear the Railside has some great food. Everyone keeps telling me about their nachos... I'll probably have to try them.

If you are ever in Dubuque, Iowa and get hungry may I suggest Bricktown. Great food, great people and just a really neat place. I opened for Paul Frisbie this last Wednesday night. Paul is a very funny man. You may have heard him on the Bob & Tom show. There is a link to his website on the links page. I want to put out a big thank you! to the people from Sterling who made the trip to Dubuque just to see me and also to my buddy Nick and his wife Dena (God, I hope I spelled her name right. I will hear about it otherwise!) who live in Dubuque and came to the show to see me. I also want to thank them for bringing their friends. The show would not have been the same without them... sorry, you had to be there.

Here are a couple of pictures from the Dubuque show at Bricktown. Click on the thumbnail and a full sized pic will open in a new window.


Keep checking the schedule page as I update it constantly. Remember to add your e-mail to the newsletter mailing list to get updates sent right to your inbox!
