Hey puppies, been taking a break from internet communications this month, but here’s a couple of things happening Thursday night that I should tell you about!
Yowie chat (with me, Eddie Pepitone & more)

http://www.yowie.com/show/25hSklarboro Country podcast (Jesse Ventura confronts the Sklar Brothers)

In this episode of The Worst, Danielle Stewart, Mark Ellis, and I discuss botched suicide attempts, Harry Baals, and the woman who didn’t have a stroke, but for some reason it makes other people feel better to lie and say she did.
Remain Champagne: “THE SERVER HAS UNDERSTOOD THE REQUEST, BUT IS REFUSING TO FULFILL IT.”
I asked my computer to do something this morning, as I’m sure you did. And this is how it answered me:
“The Server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.”
That’s from my computer. Not from my maintenance man. Not from my landlord. Not from my agent (although there…
1) Comedy Extravaganzas to Watch for: Jeff Ross’ Roast in Peace @ The Comedy Store Fri. Feb. 25th and The Paul F. Tompkins Show 9th Anniversary Celebration @ Largo Sat. Mar. 19th. I can’t really afford any of this, but if you can, you’d really should tear up your money for missing it.
2) The Ultimate Free & Cheap LA Comedy List 2/20-2/26. Thanks Wisepix.
3) Due to the circumstances beyond their control, the very popular comedy and variety show Trick @ Bordello Bar has been cancelled for the month of February. More details on the next show soon. Also, note to new management, people would have come to the show in herds.
4) Open Call for the March Comedy Madness is taking place today at the Comedy Store Original Room from 3PM to 7PM. They’re asking for 2 minutes of funny and apparently no entry fee, so what’s the harm in hitting another spot tonight. Here are more details.
5) Tonight’s COMEDY CRAWL-Takin’ it easy… sort of…

TRINITY CHURCH 1015 California Ave., Santa Monica, CA/Starts 8PM
7) Recently: Justin Beiber made some very astonishing comments about rape, then was shot in an episode of CSI, and subsequently still makes his music. With all that in mind, I’d like to see him play Dwayne Wade one-on-one like comedian Matty Goldberg did. Over and over.
8) The Super Serious Show is why most people should equate stand up comedy to overweight balding men insulting front row audience members with bigoted commentary and subsequently why you should believe in live comedy.

Funny Or Die Presents: Episode 6 Sneak Peak
A sneak peak at this week’s episode of Funny Or Die Presents, including a new installment of Want to See a Dead Body? with Rob Huebel and Rachael Harris.
Catch the hilarity in its entirety tonight at midnight on HBO!
1) The Rooftop College Comedy Competition on Mar. 22nd pits students from LMU and Chapman University to see who is the funniest. How is this not an open mic that you’d have to pay to see?
2) Sell-Outs: Just a heads up on some great shows that are SOLD OUT, though you might just show up and see if there are any tickets at the door because people in LA tend to be quite flaky.

7) Recently: Radiohead’s new album came out to uproarious…. outrage especially via Twitter. Anyone think they will get to the point where fans will want to chase them with pitchforks like Patton Oswalt wants to kill George Lucas with a shovel?
8) A kid an open mic asked me where we can make money doing comedy in LA and I literally told him, a la Chinatown because it was raining and there were neon signs all around, “It’s LA. Forget about it.” Welcome to Jadedville. (also, I find it hilarious that I’m Jake and I’m the one saying it.)

The BBQ Pork buns at The Palace are realy good by the way. The show is free and there are drink specials. I am excited to start doing shows at this venue and I hope to see some of you there. (Meaning I hope I don’t go blind before then.)
