So I'm an actor in Lisbon now - but not really

I haven’t made a blog update in like over a month and it’s not because I’m a lazy ass this time. I’ve actually been Getting Shit Done™. I hosted that show on the 18th of June. My first time like foreally real real hosting a show and having to talk with the comedians and work out the lineup and everything. And it all went really well! I acted in not one but two (very) short...

I performed English stand up comedy in Porto, Portugal. How dope is that?

I performed English stand up comedy in Porto, Portugal. How dope is that?

Wow, I cannot even believe how much cool shit is happening right now. I traveled to Porto to do stand up comedy. My first time traveling for a comedy show. Someone wants to make a short film out of one of my jokes. It’s kind of still an idea at this point, so I don’t really have much to share. I’m hosting another comedy show in about a week. Even more trips for shows on...

That Guy hosted a comedy show in Lisbon!

OH SNAP I HOSTED A COMEDY SHOW HERE IN LISBON. I was just getting used to NOT being nervous before shows and then bam curveball. It went really well tho for my first time! It was a show headlined by Ben Friedman. Cool dude. Loves Basketball. Stand up comedy. Damn shame we didn’t meet until his last couple of weeks here. So the show was basically a big goodbye to Ben as he finished his...

So much comedy in Lisbon and Dragos Cristian came to town

Wow soooooooo much has happened! I’m going to throw it all into one post but this is a really really dope update. So it all started with ANOTHER showcase show. Where Dragos Cristian - the Hungry Hungry Dragon came to town. I was on a podcast. New comedy shows are popping up in Lisbon. And even more! My show is going on the road. So I opened another showcase show for two other amazing comedians!...

Back into the Lisbon Stand-up Comedy scene

Back into the Lisbon Stand-up Comedy scene

So I jumped back into standup comedy after taking a break for a few months. The break was really good. I needed to get some non-comedy things in order and I’m feeling way better. The first show back was exactly one week ago. Mixed results on that return. Some of it was well received, but I decided to really test the edge a few times. I went waaaay over the line apparently. I haven’t had...

Diversifying my act - True Stories Told Live Lisbon

Diversifying my act - True Stories Told Live Lisbon

Well, I was really hoping to get this out before new years. I thought it would be fitting that the last post of 2018 is the True Stories Told Live event where I reflect on a pretty shitty week last year. Now that I’m here in 2019 I think it’s safe to say we can bump that week up to all of 2018. Holy shit what a complete fucking shitshow of drama and bullshit and...

I did my first paid stand-up comedy show

I did my first paid stand-up comedy show

How cool is that? I opened up a showcase for two other comedians on a really special ticketed night. I remember walking up to the venue and seeing people lined up out the door. That was different than the usual collection of 3-4 people smoking cigarettes before diving back into the warm bar. This time there were people there. Waiting in the cold. To see That Guy. Who was ON THE POSTER. Yeah, there were...

I headlined a comedy show for the first time!

I headlined a comedy show for the first time!

It was also one of my worst performances ever. Oh wow, what a terrible terrible sad set. I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. sometimes you swing and the bat goes farther than the ball lol fml. I’m ordering pizza right now. So I can drown the sorrow of reliving this memory out with mozzarella from Pizza Halal. It’s my first Halal pizza joint experience and it’s fantastic, but they don’t deliver drinks! Pizza! Without...
