I was able to see Janeane Garofalo last night at the Parlor Live in Seattle. It was quite the show. She is still as snarky and unique as ever. I enjoyed her rambling style as it made it a little less like a memorized joke delivery. She also came up with a fun phrase, “Don’t Febreeze me”, which refers to the unbelievability of the Febreeze commercials which depict obvious actors who claim to not be able to smell the bad odors of the situation since Febreeze was applied. Her phrase thus means she knows when she is being sold something/being deceived. Clever and smart. It was fun to see her.

I was able to see Bobby Lee perform live again last weekend. He was his usual crazy self. Very hilarious. You must see him if you have the chance.

I was able to see Dave Foley perform standup this past weekend. He was very funny but he also seems to be getting a little crabby in his old age. He apparently is still a little bitter about his first marriage, but he made some good points about our censorship of language. He spent half the show on his own soapbox bashing those who believe in religion, which was also a bit of a let down comedy-wise. Anyhow, it was great to see him in person as I still have a lot of respect for his work.

I had the chance to see Kevin Nealon‘s stand-up routine again recently (a few weekends ago). He was very funny. I still enjoy his subliminal routine he put in towards the end. He does a great job with that. See him if you get a chance.

I had the chance to see Steve Byrne perform at the Parlor this weekend. Wow, what an amazing show! The guy is seriously funny, witty, and unafraid of being a bit edgy. Did I say a bit edgy? I mean a lot edgy. Anyhow, he is a must see in my book.
Brian Posehn

I had the chance to see Brian Posehn perform this weekend at the Parlor. He was very funny. I really enjoyed how open he was to making fun of himself, specifically intimate details like what has happened to his body with age (and not taking very good care of himself). He is definitely worth checking out if you can.

Yeah, it’s been a while since I posted. Pretty lame I know. I’ll try to get back on the horse. 🙂
I had a chance to see Sebastian Maniscalco perform last weekend at the Parlor. He was hilarious. He is obviously a character comedian, falling fully into an Italian schtick, but he is really good at it. I encourage you to see him if you haven’t yet.

I saw John Caparulo this weekend at the Parlor. I really didn’t know much about him before this show but he turned out to be as funny as I had heard. Glad I had a chance to see him. He had me laughing almost the whole time. It is obvious he has had enough time to perfect his style. Definitely see him if you get the chance.

Saw Adam Ferrara perform this weekend at the Parlor. Very funny guy. I really enjoyed his show. I didn’t know him very well before and I found it cool that one of his jobs was driving for the UK car show, Top Gear.

I had the chance to see Tom Green’s new standup tour this weekend. He was really funny. I had some doubts going in as I was familiar with his past comedy routines, which I mostly found annoying. My Canadian wife however is a bigger fan and she made sure to get tickets for the show. I’m glad I went after all. His jokes and stories were much better than his usual schtick of doing wacky things to people. I thought it funny that he was so annoyed by the current use of technology, mainly cell/smart phones these days, as it is a bit of an old school way of thinking. He did have some good points about etiquette however and how the youth are just allowing themselves to be too distracted by these devices. Do check him out if you get the chance.
