Bristol's Tavern in Park City

This bi monthly show has morphed into more than we ever thought it could have. With the help and support of our fellow comics and comedy groups such as, Say What?, The James Gates Show and The Scallywags along with musicians like Scott Allen Knost among others, the Tuesday Night Comedy Revue has succeeded in becoming a very well attended event that has the potential to only get bigger.

If you haven't gotten out to one of these shows, you are one of the unfortunate few who are missing out on the birth of a history making event. The informal formation of, The Wichita Comedy Conglomeration. (yea, I probably spelled it wrong). Improv, Standup and alternative humor styles are all represented in full force and the city has responded favorably. These shows will continue to happen throughout the spring, so watch the calendar page for all of the updates please. And Thank You Wichita, for laughing along with us.

To begin with, I can't stress enough how much of an honor it was to perform with my fellow comedians for Kyle Hicks. If you know anything about his story, you can understand what he goes through each day and to see him sitting three rows back was an inspiration to everyone who grabbed the mic that night.

Biggs hosted the entire arrair and did his usual great job keeping the action moving and playing stage director to this unruly bunch of yahoos. Derek Aalders, Chris Winslow, myself and Jeremy Rush all proceded to throw down in true ICT fashion and with the addition of the two road acts the crowd was thoroughly laughed out when they hit the door.

Most of the crowd overflowed into Backstage and the party raged into the night with the finale of the evening being an impromptu Carl Brewer look-a-like contest held in the ladies bathroom. Truly a night that noone, including the girl who won, will ever forget.

Again, a true hero was honored that night and our hearts and best wishes go out to Kyle and his wonderful family. Anyone wishing to help Kyle with his cause please visit cotaforkyleh.com Do the right thing for once in your miserable lives you rat bastards.

We have been doing shows together like this for the last year and a half and I am constantly amazed at the type of audiences we get. We have played to as many as 50 and to as small a group as 5 and every one is unique. The beautiful thing is...when the show is over, the audience doesn't all have to leave the room right away. We get to hang out and get to know them. And we have gotten to know a bunch of really cool people this way.

This show went off without a hitch containing great sets by Derek, Jeremy and Chris. The only problem that reared it's head was Biggs' pizza not being done in time for him to go on. This lead to an entire set devoted to breakfast foods which had the room jerking with laughter.

We fucking love Barleycorn's and are looking forward to being there again on Christmas night. So after your Christmas day nap--and after you've knocked the bottom out of your old lady--get your jolly ass off the couch-put your panties on and get down to see us...!

that is all--

Blu Nightclub has been one of our regular Sunday shows throughout the s. They were gracious enough to let us do it and we were gracious enough to let them pay us with a 100 dollar bar tab instead of money.

This will probably be our last show of the year here and it started out to be a normal one with a great turnout including a few friends I hadn't seem in a while as well as some of Jeremy's and Derek's people in the crowd of 35 to 40 people packed into the little patio / bar out back.

Derek opened and did a great job. Everyone was attentive and when it came time to laugh, they all did the right thing. Jeremy was in the middle spot and probably turned in the best set of the night. Having a baby has provided him with a shitload of new jokes and noone else can deliver a Ken Landwehr reference better than Jeremy.

Making my headlining debut...I had a great first 7 minutes before I completely stepped into an arugument with some loudmouth asshole in a Wal-mart closeout sportscoat. Completely ignoring the cardinal rules of comedy, I continued to engage him and eventually I became angry. I finished my set poorly and proceeded to drown my sour mood with sourmash.

On the brighter side, everyone in the crowd bought us drinks and on top of the hundred dollar store credit we were given...we all ended up feeling pretty damn funny by the end of the night. So it wasn't a total loss. Derek and Jeremy got to feel what it was like to do better than the headliner...and I got a lot of shit off of my chest. Mission accomplished.

A Summation of the Past Few Shows or Philly Cheesesteak at 9pm.

The past few shows have been rather uneventful and it has become painfully evident to all that the time has come to reinvent ourselves. No, we still do standup comedy, but now we are going to try to write 20 minutes of new jokes apiece for each show. That way we don't just wind up doing the same jokes everytime. It has gotten to the point where some of our audiences know the puchlines before we finish our jokes.

All lunacy aside, there are things brewing and be prepared to be amazed. 20 new minutes apiece would truly be a Christmas miracle--but stand up comedy is a fairly repititous art form. Very few comics are able to go out and do a completely different show every night. It takes weeks of doing the same joke over and over to get it even close to being perfect. And then you start on a new one. Thanks for being patient with us as we learn and grow, Wichita. The best is yet to come in 09'.
