We’re Kind Of A Big Deal

Yeah, it sounds stuck-up, but The Bureau just walked away with two Student Group Awards today. As a first year group, we won Best Performing Group and Best Program Of Events, and were the only group to win multiple awards. What it really means is that we used our resources well and we appreciate everyone […]

I Wasn’t Depressed

Thanks to everyone who said “Hey, stand-up is hard.” I wasn’t upset, every show is different. Sometimes nobody laughs. That’s ok, you learn what not to do next time. Danny’s advice for me after one show was “You know that there were some things you did up there that you didn’t want to do, and […]

One Laugh

I did a set today and got one laugh. No time to write because I have a lot of projects. When they’re over, I’ll be back. In force.

Jared Says ‘Dammit’ Well

Danny Rouhier, Chris White, Jared Stern, and Jeff King made a short parody titled “Guys Watching 24.” Very funny stuff. Jared does a great Bauer impression.

DCeiver Is Goddamned Comedy Gold

Seriously. If you live in the area and don’t read this (and a bevy of other local blogs that I’ll write up fairly soon) you’re missing out. Two great things in the last few days.
1. DCeiver is clearly a master of analogies, much like myself and Joe.

DJ Grab Dollaz…

DJ Grab Dollaz, this is neither the time nor the place for phat beats!
-Michael Gabaly (written by Dan Greene)
Last night we picked the sketches that are going in to the May 5th Bureau show “So Long Matt Mayer…Don’t Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out”. It’s 94 minutes of non-stop, action-packed, laugh-until-you-piss-yourself comedy. […]

I Laughed For Hours

T.I.C.K.L.E. was a huge success. All of the day-time comics were hilarious and the crowd (though smaller than anticipated) was really into it. Tosh put on a hell of a show, the improv was fantastic, and a scheduling constraint led to Matt and I doing a simultaneous stand-up act which was so much fun. We […]

Caps & Nats

Chris Biggs & I just had a three hour conversation about everything that was great in our childhoods - real children’s programming on Nickelodeon, the collective trials and joys of being an Orioles fan, and more. One day, Jeffrey Maier will face his karma.
I am continually surprised by the shared schema that college students […]
