I Am Road Comic will be the follow up to Jordan Brady’s documentary I Am Comic that follows the travels of comedians performing on what is commonly referred to as “the road” with all of its peaks and valleys.

It’s been years since the great behind the mic documentary I Am Comic from director and comedian Jordan Brady; three years in fact. And now, after all that time, Brady is coming out with the follow up to I Am Comic in I Am Road Comic following the tales and travels of comedians that do the road and perform wherever they can get paid to talk into a microphone and discovering ultimately why they do it.
Watch this teaser with TJ Miller, Jen Kirkman, Judah Friedlander, and Doug Benson.

2) The Hollywood Fringe Festival is already under way with several comedy events that are on the “fringe”, but if you want to submit for next year, you can now, according to their guide for this year, go here and post about it.
3) Comedy Store paid regular Jerrod Carmichael has been on Twitter for awhile, but he’s only now starting to share his brilliant humor with the microblogging world, @NotoriousRod as he live tweets his niece’s dance recital.

5) The Flaming C/Conan is calling out for fan art!!!
6) Garfunkel & Oates have a new song! “My Apartment’s Very Clean Without You”. Great way to start off a nostalgic Sunday
7) Below is a clip of Louis CK doing a 3 minute set in 1987. He’s doing dolphin jokes. There’s hints of what he does now, but only hints. It’s now 2011 and some of his best material is about his two daughters. To anyone thinking wondering about development as an artist as a comedian, well, here’s a perfect example of how drastic it can be.

11) Last night I did 20 minutes that I would best describe as mostly nonsense riffing with a strong start and finish that I would most likely want to delete off of my phone’s voice recorder. Yet, a real person (not a comic) came up to me and thanked me for making him laugh. Despite what I thought, I didn’t correct him because, really, he’s right.
12) Special thanks to Jordan Brady for the shout out on Twitter this morning. Please follow him at @IAmComicMovie (oh yeah, did I mentioned he directed I Am Comic?)
